The Papyrus Network

I am wondering if Papyrus or Sierra are planning on doing a network in which we could call in and race against 30 or so human opponents. I've gotten a strategy guide for Nascar Racing and it devotes one whole chapter to this. I understand some people may be testing this out right now, but I'm unable to find out any info on it from either Papyrus or Sierra. Any information on this would be appreciated. I would prefer an e-mail but I will check back here periodically.

Yea, does anyone know any inside stuff on the Network? Phil

I am also interested in this concept. If something is being worked on, please let me know as well. Racing against a few human opponents would be great.

It's not April 1st yet. After that, you'll know everything. It's gonna be great!!!! JMK3rd

Yes, something IS being worked on. At this time I can't tell you any more than that. It is still in Beta right now, but I should tell you that after April 1, our non-disclosure agreements expire and we can talk about what happens on April 1 until it goes full public.

I wonder also...it's been over a year now since Papyrus announced that they were going to have a network.... Hello....kinda reminds me of Win94 or 95 or which was it..???? Let's get with it Papyrus or Sierra we need to turn some virtual laps ..... please......oh please...let us.

Get ready for some ribbing (if you'll pardon the pun) on this next time you get online you-know-where! You should have told him you could tell him but you'd have to eat your cyanide pill! :> "What's gonna happen?" ... "Something wonderful"

EVERYTHING!!! How good/bad was the connects. General format of the service and how the races are set-up. If they will have a race series where drivers can form leagues and race against one another in races with realism settings they decide upon.(hehe thats the one I wanna know about!) blah, blah, blah.... In other words, TELL US EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!!!! Don't make me have to hurt you dude! :)

Is it OK yet, DAVE? inquiring minds want to know! ;-) JMK3rd

According to Papyrus we still don't know anything yet. Maybe they're waiting to find a way to integrate it into Sierra's Imagination. We all know how well THAT worked for multiplayer ***<g>.

OK, it is not after April 1st. The non-disclosure agreements have expired? What do you know... Thanks! Robert Huggins
