I would like to see the sleeper back with warders after completing some sort of long PITA quest, but I'm just a CSR rep and have minimal if any dev input

Sleeper reset if no raid-related petitions for 12 months.

I'm impressed you have made it this long Llandris and not gone mad.

It's only a matter of time...

If so, please make sure there are several bottlenecks with long respawn mobs (with variance to add some spice). Players could come to some sort of agreement about how to handle the situation like reasonable well-adjusted adults (rolling or making a list) and build comraderie and friendships while waiting for the aforementioned long respawn bottleneck. I, for one, look forward to this pinnacle of Project 1999 Everquestery.

I have to say that 99% of all the nostalgia "I just want to see the sleeper" is probably BS. Folks just want the pixels.

I happen to think that resetting the sleeper could fairly be a one time server wide event/ accomplishment without ruining the classic EQ experience...but that it would have to be made allowable to wake him permanently again, which would likely happen soon after the reset.

The waking the sleeper mechanic is actually one of the coolest things in all of EQ and MMOs imo...and making it resettable kinda ruins it for me. The few servers that managed to keep the server asleep on live (on Xev it lasted until PoP) were major accomplishments and major betrayals when agreements were broken. Heroes and villains were made. People gained cross-server fame and infamy. There isn't much that exists like that in any other MMO.

Reset the zone every earthquake, no warder respawns after killing until next quake.

There's not much more to add to this, it goes both ways, however I would point out that the issue with stating it's "classic" is completely trivialized by the fact that nothing is classic about it, when you know the future. This obviously applied to everything about the server, though to get anal now ten years in is, nonsensical. And to not for once put down the 'classic' pitchfork about an aspect that affects both veterans and new potential raiders, as arguably the most 'epic' thing that could occur in this time era, seems both petulant and disingenuous.

It's as if Nilbog thinks that letting the Warders respawn is going to line the pockets of every player with uber items - which it won't as it will be highly contested, isn't doable by everyone and if it was, oh well, more fun for all.

When Rogean and Nilbog complain and comment about how they cannot believe the toxic level it's reached and their disappointment in how people behave, you'd think they'd capitalize by increasing a sense of community, with more server events and activities and attempting to display an interest in fixing the culture of the server.

Here is the opportunity to remind the no lifers that all the years of griefing, and 'server first's (lol at the people that uploaded images of their characters on the wiki, sad...)
and corruption have meant absolutely nothing - a nice reality check that unlike other games that require you to 'gear up' to get ready for the next expansion, Blue goes NOWHERE, and your membership to the Grey Robe Club is just some embarrassing badge of honor only you and a thousand other people have any idea about.

Just picture it, - all the sleepless nights, and missed gains on your muscle growth; all the wife aggro and times you sorta broke up with your girlfriend, and all the cyber you did with Amelinda lead you to Kerafym's tomb.
Then Nilbog comes in and trolls you by putting the Warders on Earthquake, meaning other guilds will get loot and you have zero worthwhile legacy on the server to tell all your new pals on TLP about.

And Green terrifies you, because Green means that you either have to do it all over again, or be forgotten as those dudes on that Blue server that no one will care about anymore.
Jeez, even Red players will be remembered more than you. Hi Swish.

Prove it.

You realize that most of us have done it "all over again" many times over? I think I've now played on four totally fresh servers since I started on p99, and I don't think I'm very unique.

I think you're over estimating the resistance the hard-core crowd has to steamrolling another server...they live for that shit. They are the Borg.

This is my preferred implementation as well.
