I didnt see any post that said your mother was in a car accident. If she
is,
I truly hope she fully recovers. I dont personally like to see people in
pain.
On the other hand if you have family or personal problems, that doesnt
give you
the right to verbally attack other people for playing April Fools jokes.
Its obvious you have personal problem and therefore YOU DO need to getr
a GRIP!!

are tons of people out there JUST DYING TO GET THAT LONG AWAITED PATCH and
here comes some moron thinking that he is funny and saying that it is out.
Yeah sure it may be funny to some of you idiots who don't care if a patch
comes out or not but there are OTHERS who want a patch. So think about
what someone else writes about before you open up your big fat jaw.

I thought it was funny and I'm awaiting the patch as much as anyone.

message and possibly have taken it seriously????

Would you all just quit complaining. He obviously has a sick sense of humor to
pick on us dimwitted people who have been waiting patiently for a Patch from
Papy but it was a JOKE, not a threat on your life. Well it was good for a
laugh when I was deperatly trying to find the URL where it was located but I
will now go back into my cave and wait for any updates that are serious!

You CAN tell it is a trick. The FTP adress is:

ftp.igotfooledbigtimeonapril.1st

Very cheap little ftp adress. You should'a tried better with
ftp.papyrus.com and then have Jim make a real announcement.

Well, of course you can tell its a joke!!! That was the whole point about
it - making people read it - cheers for a second or two and then get pissed
when the understood they've been fooled on april 1st. Hence ftp.
i-got-fooled-bigtime-on-april.1st.!!

I wuldn't put Papyrus'es ftp address there for a million buck's. Hell i saw
what happend to a Mr. Manning. (no offence***, i accept your applogy
(sp?))

Best regs. from another "sim'er" who's also waiting for _THE_ patch !!!

THe way I see it the joke is on all of us .I don't think Papy is even
working on a patch if they were than I think we would have gotten some info
by now .It sure seems wierd that all the other software companies can give
info on thier patches.What makes Papy and Sierra different.I guess it's
those bugy games they put out and never seem to fix.

Can you say "patch = Nascar 3".

Eric,

It seems that you have not visited this ng in awhile. Papy has posted
that there
WILL be a patch for N2 several times.

When?, Where?, Who?!
Look at the tech info and the presence Reps from Papy have given in
this ng.
Who else has even stuck their nose in here, except for "software houses"
just advertising their
products that arent even out yet? Microprose?!! Jeez!

What makes Papy and Sierra different. I guess it's

Eric, really, come on guy. Papy has released patches on every sim
they've developed.
What would cause you to think different. It seems your "irritation" with
waiting
on the N2 patch is getting to the point of insulting the number one
company thats
brought us hours of enjoyment.

I havent seen ONE patch from any other company that has produced a
"true" sim.
Take GP2 by Microprose for instance. It was considered "dead" when it
hit the shelves!

Please, give credit, where credit is due.

Oh and Cheers! -8>]

While I don't imagine it was personally e-mailed to each and every
owner of the game, Papyrus' folks have made postings here regarding
the likely contents of the patch. (Check www.dejanews.com if you'd
like to read what has been said, or you can continue to (wrongly)
assert that absolutely no information has been made available...)
