Papyrus Home Page & Indy Expansion pack

Hi all, Has anyone looked in the Papyrus Home Page recently ? Sierra really have screwed that up. I spent about 20mins wandering aimlesly from link to link trying to find *ANYTHING* on a Papyrus game with no success. Has anyone else had the same trouble ? BTW, I eventually found their 800 number in an old r.a.s. post and called. They have the Indy expansion pack in-stock again only $19.95+shipping. The number is 1-800-836-1829 if you can't find the expansion pack at your local retailer. I think we should e-mail the webmaster and tell him (her?) our opinions of what they have done to the Papyrus (Sierra) home page. BTW, when I mentioned the problems I was having with Web page to the salesperson all he said was "tell me about it". Is this the beginning of the end of Papyrus - I hope not, I'm still waiting for the ICR2 bug fix patch. Graeme

I had the same problem trying to find any Papyrus info at the site. I finally found it after clicking on the "guests" graphic at the top of the page. This took me to a page with something about Papyrus joining up with Sierra, and from there to the origional Papyrus site. The new URL is http://www.papy.com/sierra/papy/home.htm. Hopefully Sierra will make it a little easier to reach the site in the future. Buie

At the top of the web page it says something to the effect of "Papyrus is now at sierra" or something like that. If you pay attention you will notice that in this line Papyrus is a link. If you hit that link you will be at the same Papyrus web page that you've seen since they came on-line.

I tried to get to the Papyrus Home Page and got the Sierra page too. However, here is the link to the Papyrus Home Page: http://www.papy.com/sierra/papy/home.htm Nothing has changed (except the url). -Jim -- -Jim

What is all this talk about Sierra and Papyrus being in cahoots!? When did this happen!? This is horrible news!! Were they responsible for Papyrus's logo change? Well, it's all downhill from here on out for Papyrus. Soon we'll have racing games with environmental objectives. I haven't stopped by Papyrus's homepage in a while, maybe I'll give it a try today. Just please tell me it isn't so? John

the url has changed the www.papy.com goes to Sierra but if you enter http://papy.com (without the www) then the Papyrus home page comes up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MP Scurvy Dog #00 Simpson-Cowlings Motorsports http://pwp.usa.pipeline.com/~scurvydog/index.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Has anyone else had the same trouble ? while attempting to use the page tonight (WWW.PAPY.COM) I NOW GET REROUTED THROUGH SIERRA O-n Line and end up after several minutes looking at just the press release pages for nascar racing/icr2! The tech files are now GONE from papyrus' area on compuserve! HEY SIERRA!..I know you're still in the take over stages of papyrus/sublogic..but what gives???

I spent about 20mins wandering >aimlesly from link to link trying to find *ANYTHING* on a Papyrus game >with no success. Has anyone else had the same trouble ? Yes, I read your post and then directed my Netscape to the traditional Papyrus home page URL... And what a shock it was to find myself in Sierras WWW-page. After the initial shock I tried to find some Papyrus info but no way Jose, it seems to be nowhere! Of course I mailed the webmaster and asked kindly if this horrible situation could be rectified. -- <-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-> < Tero Turtiainen | Yes Sir, may I*** your boots or do your Highness > <-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=->

For all of you looking for papyrus's web page it is now www.papy.com/sierra/papy/home.htm You might have to registar to be able to access this page, I know I did. John

Just go through poking around today and this looks to be the direct URL to Papy's old Web pages: http://www.sierra.com/sierra/papy/ They seem to have pulled everything over from the old site. However, Sierra's server is way slow. Too many products/companies hiding under the Sierra On-Line umbrella? -- **************************** Michael E.
