Sleeper's Tomb

[raff01]

I'm afraid that the Sleeper doesn't come along with Kunark...

"Devious Idea" has to go one step deeper to be effective, not only all Sleeper's Tomb Keys, but all ST Talismans (Sont, Lend, Yeli, Zland, Kland) that make keys get deleted as well. Otherwise people just stock pile talisman's to recreate keys immediately after waking Sleeper. It would require anyone that is willing to awaken the sleeper to have to put in effort to maintain a raid force willing to compete and kill the 5 dragons for keys.

Yeah, Tomb Keys, Talismans, & Jaled Dar himself go bye-bye. As a deterrent I'd thought about The Sleeper DT'ing 6 random people when he spawns, deleting all server keys, and banishing all other players out of the zone regardless if they are online or not. Guaranteeing 6 people losing it all; But that just seemed a bit much. It did make me smile though.

Monthly/Bi-Monthly resets would be far too often and would lose the impact of any Awakening. However, longer resets (6-12 months) allow for a small group of miscreants to come in and awake the sleeper every reset just for the sole purpose of locking people out. Once this group has their keys, they can keep it in a perpetual state of wake-lock.

lol, we have no intentions of resetting it ever actually. Resetting it wouldn't be classic. I just stuck that in there to give people hope for a few pages so I could run in and stomp it. Classic. Only.

I am curious about Sleeper 2.0 though for the reason as the gear wasn't over-powered for Velious and it would continue to provide an additional target down the road as the server ages in Velious.

Someone mentioned Sleeper 2.0 from Stormhammer and I'd be interested in seeing information on it for sure.

If you were to implement Sleeper 2.0 some items would need to be removed or redone because of focus effects along with new NPCs/etc. Other quest items totally removed unless you are planning on adding the revamp to Skyshrine also.

Don't think I would do this, the result probably wouldn't be worth the effort.

Three golems on three day spawn still drop Primal, the zone isn't the same as before with the Warders but it's not a total loss.

Training in ToV happened but was heavily sanctioned by classic CS rules. I never recall hearing about training in ST (neither did I in VP anyways but we know the issue on p99).

Making ST classic means it is non trainable, same for ToV. At no time were those zones non CSR, unlike VP which was indeed non-CSR and whose rules got badly interpretated on P99.

Without derailing the topic at hand, this is incorrect. ToV, Sleepers, VP, and Plane of Fear/Hate/Air/Growth/Mischief were all non-csr as per the Live Guide policy books from Kunark and Velious era posted and discussed at length in these threads (1) (2) (3).

The word from the server staff is that these Live Guide policies are not in effect on this server and that P99's "No CSR" rules are separate and not based on Live's rules (e.g. allowing training and KSing in VP, but not in the planes).

Township Rebellion woke the Sleeper on Stormhammer mid-Luclin (April 2002)

Will see what I can dig up later on what the 2.0 upgrade on Stormhammer entailed.

I like the reset/key wipe idea if sleeper is awakened the only issue with it is a majority of the people that obtain keys wont be the same ones waking the sleeper so it leaves a chance for a few to really stick it to the majority.

I think a reset every 2-3months or even once a year with a delay on Sleeper being wakable for a month or so would be good. Or maybe once its woken the first time have the warders spawn at different times unkillable. The problem with this event being classic is it doesnt work since everyone now knows how to do it and there are people who like on live would do it just to grief the server or the guilds that have the keys(not necessarily TMO)

Maybe since this is the end of the classic content have an annual key wipe and reset.



Picture it like VP at the moment where a few go in without any intention of killing the dragons but just to grief others.
