What are Papyrus' plans for Hawaii?

Ok... it's in beta now, and we're all sending our money to the phone company for calls to Boston. So, what's in the future? When it becomes a pay service, will more phone numbers be added? How many? And how much are they planning to charge? -Steve -- ***************************************************************************** Steve Owen "While you sleep, I am plotting world domination." http://members.aol.com/StevenOwen/steve.htm Concerts, Counters & More *****************************************************************************

At E3 last month, we announced the future for Hawaii... NASCAR has sanctioned us as their 13th & newest division -- the NASCAR Racing League. "Hawaii" is the prototype for NRL. NRL will use NASCAR Racing 2 which is due out this Christmas. It will feature the user pickup races & user created series races that Hawaii now offers. It will also feature fully sanctioned NRL series races. Without getting into all of the details, NRL series will be as close to the other 12 NASCAR divisions as possible Users will actually join NASCAR & become licensed drivers. NRL series will be run like Winston Cup We ave not announced specifics about NRL yet... like pricing, release date, "how to connect", etc. However, you can feel pretty confident that we will have local access number for everyone. The complete press release for NRL & NASCAR Racing 2 can be found at NASCAR.COM & SIERRA.COM. Ed Martin Producer, Series Director NASCAR Racing League Papyrus / Sierra On-Line, Inc.

So basically, until Nascar 2 and NRL come out, Hawaii will be long distance? -- Kenneth http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/1517/

[snip] [snip] [snip] Ed, do you have any indication from NASCAR as to sanctioning fees and procedures for those who will wish to become a member of the new division? As always, thanks for the help.

We actually haven't figured out what, if anything, we would charge for joining NRL. There probably will be some small annual fee, but we aren't sure yet. Ed Martin Producer, Series Director NASCAR Racing League Papyrus / Sierra On-Line, Inc.
