How am I going to look cool in EC Tunnel without Warder loot?

Easy, stay out of EC tunnel.

Personally I'd love to see any staff member talk about how they feel regarding this.

I understand that there are views on what is 'Classic' but my personal view is that killing him (The Sleeper) was never intended as classic, and as for waking him, I think they did that in order to hype the community even more.

I honestly wouldn't mind waking the Sleeper, but P99 to have its own version of this particular 'classic' part and allow warders to continue to spawn. Even change some dynamics if needed.

You see, there are ground laying classic ideas and implementations that are unavoidable. P99 for the most part has stuck to the thought process of making those things as classic as possible. Then there are concepts that were poorly implemented or revised and eventually broken because of moronic decisions like waking the Sleeper (a mob that is basically as powerful as a god in this non-fiction game. The lore about Kerafyrm is posted as a back story that imo was supposed to be just that, a story. It wasn't supposed to happen in our game.

I believe at one point of time they were talking about certain gods in this game that you will never see or fight. Another example of things they had in the game but you NEVER saw or was able to kill until they made the mistake of allowing it, was Mayong Mistmoore. He was supposed to be an immortal, like Dracula which brought awesome story and lore to the game, but he's in the back ground, something that you can never touch or want to because it would ruin the story if he were spawned and you could kill him.

Do you understand my point? Story about this or that, without it being implemented. It makes the game so fun knowing that this exists in this or that form, but you can't touch it or /attack....if anything a GM event would allow you to see it and experience it.

The FV appearance in Kithicor was epic and a once in a life time event. But you could touch her, attack or anything else. The story will be told by game players around the world and we will love it. She is an untouchable part of this game in which we will adore with stories.

OK....done.

I would

A lot my my references about 'they' are referring to SOE.

Would take the entire server uniting to kill the sleeper - moot issue

Praxxus said the only reason Kera was killed on RZ was there were so many people in ST it lagged out Kera's DT mechanics and caused them to trigger much more slowly than was intended. So basically people were being rezzed in faster than they were dropping.

Can anyone confirm when the sleeper was awakened? Time frame wise.

Plus keep this in mind, he was killed on only a couple of servers out of....how many at the time? So many didn't even get to see him awaken until after Velious time frame.

Thanks Ele, but I only see 7 in that list.

I was on Povar when he was awakened and that was only 1 monthish before Luclin was released. He was killed but that was Luclin time frame when he was.

Nice. However that's old....and I'd like to know 2 years later, what they think.

Wasn't it ex-whatever-IB-was-called-there wake the sleeper on eqmac(Alkabor)? Violating a many years long agreement on that server to never wake him?

This surely bodes well for nap time continuing on p99!
