Possible solution to awakening the sleeper...

[spoils]

How about once sleeper awakens, zone changes to 2.0 for minimum 6 monthss then reverts back, kinda a zone respawn cycle for a long time. Let the community decide when to awaken the sleeper to let people get loot from both versions. Heck maybe add a server wide quest that involves everyone to contribute something to let the zone respawn...it'd be a huge plat sink to allow for economic health and forces guildes like tmo and ib with their huge guild banks to finally have something to spend their millions of banked plat on...

Sadly it's not classic so fuck you spoils!
