velious GM events

[elessin alkabor]

greetings, i come from the mac server al kabor, right before its closure, upon the 10th anniversary, there was an event in the eastern wastes of velious, the entire zone population was changed, a number of dragons upon veeshan factioned spawned near the ST zoneline, and a number of giants spawned, there were multiple nameds, PC's were meant to fight upon the side of the dragons, and many great items dropped, such as http://wiki.project1999.com/Boots_of_the_Storm , Such an event is clearly classic, it was hosted by Zatozia, And multiple zones within everquest have zone popluations of version 1 and version 2, The sleeper was awoken on al kabor, and a day or two later, the gm Hobart appeared within game, and reset the zone to population 1, which leads me to believe these events can be toggled. does anyone have any knowledge of such things?

That script was bugged on EQMac.

The mobs that were dropping the good loot (KT, Vindi, AoW loot basically) were respawning. Where they should've only spawned 2 times and been done.

So I was able to box 3 of them and get 2 AoW rings (the mobs were really easy). It was nice for my boxes but not really balanced. I remember going to work and hearing some people boxed 10-20 BoCs and AoW rings out of that day until it got fixed just before I got home.

Did he ever really play here? Seemed to do more FQ than anything

Probably the funniest thing about this was that the bi-weekly server reset that happened every other Wednesday morning on Al'Kabor, actually defaulted to pre-awakened sleeper zones. So even if Hobart hadn't intervened, the server would've reset itself. Kind of like mother nature purging itself of a disease. It was able to cure itself of the those retarded people.

Anybody else remember the series of emotes on live prior to Velious release? I remeber a story told in fits and snatches about drunken Gnomes manning an icebreaker and occasionally becoming snacks for hungry Ogres (or were they Trolls?)
