The Sleeper to be awoken tonight in Rampage's final raid.

^ Wow a Detoxx post without horrendous spelling/grammar? Color me surprised!

[Morlaeth]

So, Detoxx, was your wizard account banned or just suspended, by the way?

From the wiki:

Tang was used by earlier NASA manned space flights.[6] In 1962, when Mercury astronaut John Glenn conducted eating experiments in orbit, Tang was selected for the menu;[2] it was also used during some Gemini flights. In 2013, Buzz Aldrin, said: "Tang sucks".[7]

Oh buzz

Let's be honest here. They did it because they wanted to experience a special event they never had and to put their name in the server first books.

Sleeper will get put back to sleep and you will get your SoDs and Shrouds. Don't worry about that.

Less than half of the servers on live woke the sleeper during Velious. One could argue a non-Warder filled Velious isn't classic. Considering this is the final frontier it wouldn't make sense to keep them down permanently anyways.

As soon as the Sleeper woke members from Rampage sent out tells to multiple people in other guilds linking loot from Sleepers. Most of us were just trying to get to a place to see the Sleeper Rampage. Not a lot of Rampage members. They were busy sending tells to gloat. Just the truth.

Sounds like every single raid on the server from the last 5 years.

Daldaen said they did it solely for a guild first and for the enjoyment of the accomplishment. I was pointing out that was not true. Again there was one reason that some of the officers in Rampage chose to Wake the Sleeper and it wasn't because of the claims being made. I for one know you were a huge proponent of not waking it in TMO. There is only one reason to do so with the knowledge we all have of Velious and that is spite and to limit others. We all already knew the results of him wakening.

EDIT: Anyone watching Hokushin's stream heard the Teamspeak and the people constantly talking about Detoxx and the things they were going to stop him from getting.

It doesn't necessarily make it false either.

There can certainly be multiple reasons, even competing reasons, for waking him within a single guild. EQ is whatever each person makes it. Some people play to make friends. Some people play to see dragons. Some people play to craft things. Some people play the bazaar game. Some people play to BIS. And yes, some people play to actively deny/hinder other people's progression. There are all kinds of people in all the different guilds. TMO had some people that played solely to deny other's entry into VP. FE had some people that played solely to deny other's entry into VP. BDA ruled the rotation list with an iron fist. Based on my prior experiences, the people in the active pixel-denial crowd were usually the most vocal and spent the most time tracking/FTEing, so I guess they could say they had a vested interest in maintaining that position.


I am still a proponent for leaving him be; however, I can certainly understand why people would want to have that title of "first and only." To be real though it was simply a matter of time before someone woke him. People couldn't even leave OOA alone for a few weeks even though it massively benefited everyone interested in Noble loots.
