This is a novel concept that has compelling pros and cons. There is a certain amount of unfairness in wiping characters that people have spent hundreds of hours developing. But, such an action would eliminate many of the problems impacting the server and help promote a more "classic" gaming experience.
Ultimately, the most entertaining option would be to make Sleeper's Tomb a PVP zone and institute a character wipe after the Sleeper has awoken. Ironically, guilds that are in the best position to wake the Sleeper would be the least likely to do such an act. It would be beyond entertaining to watch Guild X fight for the continued existence of the server, against Guild Z, which wishes for everything to be reduced to a blank slate. This would give rise to the most epic pixelated battles of all time - the fate of Project 1999's Norrath, literally, would rest in the hands of the defending guild. The entire pixel universe could be destroyed if they failed.
