View Full Version : Yearly - Can we reset the sleeper
Kruel
02-10-2017, 09:47 AM
I know, I know this has been discussed over and over. Over a year ago a group of people (mostly whom do not play anymore) decided they were going to ruin the end game raid scene by waking up the sleeper. This leaves the new people to the server and new people to the raid scene without being able to see and experience something that they always use to hear about (sleepers tomb raids).
I would like to propose: Can we yearly have a sleepers reset? There are allot of pros and cons to this but I feel it would be in the best interest of the server. It would give allot of us that hope and drive to make it to end game.
I know this has been discussed allot but if the community gets behind it, maybe the GMs will take a better look at this option.
They should also add a variance to it!

I know of a few friends who refused to play here due to sleeper being woken.
I'm not for or against. I stand in a middle ground. While it would be cool I don't predict it to ever be back.

I'm appalled that they woke it on a locked server and soooo early into the expansion, but a part of the appeal of sleeper's tomb is it is a 'one time deal'. Warders would have left some more raid mobs on the table, but it is what it is.
Speaks a lot to human psychology when people blatantly do something to 'see the tears of butthurt nerds'.
I don't think sleeper should be reset, there were only a few rare cases on live where this happened. If P99 did it, two things would happen:
1) It would be a #notClassic rallying cry in ever freaking post for custom content and people would slam the devs for it ("What, they can reset the sleeper but can't do this?! lame").
2) Some group of toxic players would unleash the sleeper in 3-6 months times anyways (perhaps as a threat to let them have a spot in rotation, revenge, guild dispute, drama, etc)

The way things stand at the moment I think either of the top guilds would want to scalp the Sleeper straight away if it was reset just to spite the other one (and the rest of the server).

You're asking for one to two spawns before the raid guilds start bickering and hold waking the sleeper as a hostage. Give us a free vulak or ventani dies. It sounds nice but both servers have killed the Warders with no contest in zone. We simply don't share our toys.

Just make the sleeper reset every time Vulak sits up for 24 hours.

Basically this.
Warders wouldn't last a month before sleeper being awoken again. It's pointless.

I stopped playing by the time we woke the sleeper, but I can honestly say the amount of effort and work that went into being the top Velious guild was staggering. Waking the Sleeper and being forever legends - even if it's infamy - was the reward for all of our hard work.

There really shouldn't be any point to these conversations until the final patch of Velious is complete and Rogen/Nilbog have completed their task in making their version of a Classic Emulated Eeverquest Server.
Would I like Sleepers reset? Yes! Who wouldn't. To me the Sleeper event on Everquest is one of the most epic, legendary, monumental event on any MMORPG. In that reality it should never be reset otherwise it loses that allure.
The only way it should be reset is if a custom content that Rogean/Nilbog come up with create a mega quest that puts the Sleeper back asleep. That quest would have to have to same level of significance and rarity to even be possible; ie, 1 year respawn time with 2-4 month variance on the starter quest mob, you need multiple ally factions with Giants, CoV, Dwarfs, at the same time (is it even possible?) to get them to secretly work together in order to combine their abilities to resleep the sleeper. After all, technically he still is awake running around Norrath. For the quest, think about something on the lines of what Blizzard did to open AQ; you had to field all these supplies to prepare for a battle. Something that would make the server work together as one in order for something this mega to happen. Something that would require at least 1-2years of people farming materials for. Ultimately, the Sleeper should not be so whimsically reset just because we want it.

And while they're at it, make Raster/PH and the Ancient cyclops/PH a 15 minute spawn.
EQ is supposed to be unforgiving in many ways, including the ability for more organized, more dedicated, more time-investing people to access (and in some cases eliminate) content.
That's why World Of Warcraft implemented instances and phasing.
To play EQ in modern time is a slap in the face to the hard realities in a pre-WoW world.
Deal with it. That's the game.

As a devotee of Her Grace, Veeshan, if High Lord Rogean and His Excellence, Nilbog of the Cypher, elect to capture and reimprison Kerafrym within that dreadful tomb, I will be forming a crew to immediately right this injustice.
Please PM or post here if you are interested in be considered for a position in the Sleeper's Liberation Army.
The successful applicant will:
1. Have nothing better to do than stare at empty pixel space.
2. Possess sufficient stamina and affinity for staring to survive prolonged sessions.
3. Be of sufficient body weight to accommodate prolonged periods of fasting in the event a tracking change is not possible.
4. Possess at least 4 pairs (or 7each) of "Loose Sock." Consult Google-sama if you are unfamiliar with these.
5. Have sufficient financial resources to maintain continuous power and Internet connections so that your character(s) may remain at login screen anytime you may be away for some reason.
6. Be able to come up with better more interesting reasons, because these are all pretty boring and I am no longer interested in making this post.
Also, there will be an opening for leader of the SLA, because I have better things to do with my time.
Please let me know if you are interested in joining this very special cause. Norrath is our home. Let's keep it shining ^^

Any way you dice it, it's selfish and short sighted. And this from the guilds who say they just like competition and don't want to deny others content. This was the ultimate content block.
This is coming from a guy who never cares to get his sleepers key either.

I like Cucumber's idea.
Another proposal for thought that's already been said: address inflation by pulling high end items out of the economy. Have a long quest that requires X amount of high-end items and massive amounts of plat. Get creative, but use the opportunity to remove excess items from circulation. The amount sacrificed needs to be significant. For this to work, Recycle99 would not have a Sleeper otherwise people would simply wait for the next server reset.
If people managed to reset the Sleeper, the entire community would be less likely to kill all the warders...but we can always count on a few bad eggs, and hence the cycle repeats. This way the reset is earned, instead of given out. The core economy has a way to introduce item-sinks. (Since recharges and buff reagents seem to be the core platinum sink mechanic)

When we woke the sleeper we had people there that had less than 10% raid attendance.

Bringing the Sleeper back would actually be the single most non-classic thing imaginable, so it might just happen on P99.

Other than actual, coded game mechanics, no one can really say "Classic EQ is" because basically they're just talking about what they think and not what they know.

Except it'll get woke as soon as it shuts its eyes, so you'll either have consistent respawns to satisfy the masses, particularly the losing guild's lawyerquesting because they lost...or the party is over as soon as it begins and there isn't a 3rd respawn.
just reset it once in a while.. who really cares if it gets woken again?
old players would have something to come back for and contest again. give them something to do after they have "completed" the game. would trigger a nice pop surge.
It is the last expansion for crying out loud and there is little left to "spice" up the sever
you will be able to relive the EQ experience and also have a classic feel that the warders don't respawn on their own.
best of both worlds imo
reset warders on red only first to get some pop up and then do blue like a few months later and keep em staggered

Dirty casuals don't deserve to see sleepers! If you want it reset go play instanced EQ.

lol good troll
do u know how many sleeper resets that would take to have everyone see , do and acquire everything?
it still would never happen even if the sleeper stayed awake 24/7
what tune means by this post:
"we don't need everyone to get everything, i just need to twink myself and my pals along with my financial supporters"
"i don't intend to share since pyramid schemes don't work that way"
thx tune

Sleeper is Highly dependant on what players decide to do however. In this case Rampage made a joke out of it. I doubt dev team will let the players make a joke out of their game. Its ridicolous to compare it to the plankings as this was all controlled by dev. Ofc it will be reset question is only when, id guess on the server merge. So well in total see 3 sleepers per merge assuming all are like Rampage.

So...
1. The Sleeper will be reset at some point.
2. The servers will merge.
Is this one of those tunnel angles where if you say the item price 1000 times people start to believe that's its true value...so we'll get a sleeper reset if people say the words enough times :rolleyes:
(hint: wipe it clean 2013, wipe it clean 2014, wipe it clean 2015, wipe it clean 2016, wipe it clean 2017 have all been failures so far).

You know I'm right. But you're a troll so you wont admit it.
Do you expect dev to prep server merge trusting/letting the players control sleeper/the environment? Hell no. They will prep merge just as it suits them. The timing of merge will be strictly up to them with 100% control. To reset sleeper on both servers right on merge is a requirement in order to make a good prep / merge schedule. What Rampage-like high end nerds without employment decide to do in game does not affect devs server plans.

Having that said, long term value of SoD is 500k and whoever not selling one today @ 12 million plat is just as stupid as anyone considering buying one today .

I stopped playing by the time we woke the sleeper, but I can honestly say the amount of effort and work that went into being the top Velious guild was staggering. Waking the Sleeper and being forever legends - even if it's infamy - was the reward for all of our hard work.
Woke the sleeper on live and on red99. Not once have I ever thought to myself "what an amazing accomplishment." Making the world a better place is hard work. Building your own company is hard work. Raising a family is hard work. Volunteering of your time to charity is hard work. Hitting the attack keybind on NPC's is not hard work.
Oh and reset him.

It will get reset.
Once the server timeline finishes, the server ceases being classic and they can do whatever changes they want.
Personally I'd prefer Luclin,PoP,LoY,LDoN,GoD,OoW etc. But more likely we will get sleeper back asleep and maybe some custom content.

Daybreak forbade new servers. Ain't happening.

Only possible GM response I can see is if there was an agreed upon formal request post in the raid forum signed by all the current raid guilds

You play on PEQ? I enjoyed playing through GoD content on PEQ, sadly it was me and one other person boxing whole raids because the community is tiny.

I don't get why it seems that no one remembers this little goodie from their agreement, but ya, no new servers iirc.
Which means, if they want to have a "new" server, there going to have to reset red or blue.

Link? I don't remember ever seeing the actual agreement posted- just a press release. And it said nothing about whether any new p99 servers could/would be allowed.

This "no new servers" thing is basically people reading it on the forums and taking it as gospel, isn't it? Then regurgitating that "fact" and spreading the rumor further :p
