Ok. This is not classic. Why won't you revive the sleeper?

Not really though, at least by the P99 definition of classic ("up to but not including Luclin").

Remember, Velious lasted only one year on live. Just to get a enough of your guild keyed to get into ST tooks many months. To then get enough more keyed, and figure out your tactics for how to kill all the warders, took even longer. The absolute very first guild to ever wake the Sleeper did so past the halfway point of Velious, and it took everyone else longer than that.

This means that every server on live spent more time in Velious with the Sleeper than without her. Some servers hadn't even woken the sleeper by the time Luclin came out! On them there literally wasn't a single classic second spent without the Sleeper.

So if P99 was really emulating "how live was", the pre-wakening era should have been at least half the server's time in Velious. No one knows when Blue will end, but we've had what three years so far? Even if you give a pessimistic answer of only a few more years, we still should have had the Sleeper era for way longer.

But, again, the case for bringing back the Sleeper (or at least the pre-wakening era) is only going to get louder louder here over time. If Rogean and Nilbog won't do it now, wait and see what they say in ten years.

If p1999 was classic people like you would be unemployed stay at home sons.

Oh wait.

This is the only category of people fit to wake the sleeper...so what?

Try red green.

[indiscriminate_hater]

Awakening the sleeper and keeping the sleeper dead are classic mechanics. OP why do you want to remove classic mechanics? I thought you wanted to relive EQ?

What is dead may never die.

[Dark_Magic]

They won't put the Sleeper back to bed for the same reason they rooted ToV dragons. I'll let you come up with your own adjectives for it.

[gildor]

believe Beldan's point is that with so many unclassic features of this pure classic feature set, why not increase players enjoyment with warders to raid / loot

[matticas]

I've never seen a thought-out, legitimate reason why they shouldn't revive the Sleeper. The most sensible reason I've heard was the programming work it might take, though I don't understand what goes into that to agree or disagree.
