Reset the server after Kerafyrm is awoken.

I vote that sleeper mechanic (waking him et al) just be disabled on this server. Or reset the sleeper every week/month. I'd hate for those "pre-awakening" items to disappear forever just because some retarded guild decided to wake him for kicks and grins ... especially if the server never progresses beyond Velious (which I hope it doesn't).

I'll tell you right now, if you reset the server (assuming characters are also deleted) I will roll am many toons with other peoples names just to ruin the continuity of guild recreation. Wiping progress is absolutely stupid. if you want to ALLOW people the CHOICE to start over, open another server.

Erase years of effort? wtf are you smoking

yeah. this is the truth.

what's more, if even the slimmest shade of a spectre possibility of doing this is ever veiled by the devs it will totally undermine the player confidence in the server.

EMU servers are difficult for players to trust because the individual that owns them can pull the plug ANYTIME they want. Rogean could wake up this morning and without any explanation or warning yank the life right out of p99. The fact that Rogean and Nilbog have built enough confidence with their players to create this long lasting and stable community is extremely rare (unique?) for an EMU server---its probably their greatest accomplishment on p99.

all of that trust would evaporate if players thought that Rogean was even considering wiping the server. even if the reason to wipe the server was to use the resources to start a new one, the new one would forever be living under the uncertainty of being wiped.

wiping isn't a realistic solution.

on servers where the sleeper stayed sleeping for years, it was because of player agreements to rotate without ever killing all four warders at once. on most servers, this agreement was never reached successfully and the number 1 guild farmed ST until the number 2 guild got enough keys. in order to maintain their advantage the number 1 guild often woke the sleeper to keep the number 2 guild from getting some of the best loot in the game from the warders.

This is 100% true. EQMac is the only server I played on where the sleeper was never awoken (sorry rellapse you failed). A plethora of SoDs existed on EQMac, an item regular live servers saw VERY few of. There's nothing better than seeing a monk or war dual wielding 2 12/18 250 dmg stun proc weapons.

Gnome mask, Writ of the Dragonkin, Dragon Scale Mask, Salindrite Dagger. It would be a shame to only see a few of these tradeable items on the server.

The only item that is worth a SHIT after awakening the sleeper is the bard/rogue dwarf mask.

P.S. this poll is stupid because killing Vulak + half of ntov is way harder than killing 2 groupable dragons.

some of the quest items are pretty good, my favorite: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=20622

but yes, the regular items are far better. also, if they go by classic timeline the items from the post-awakening quests wouldn't be in-game until after velious. i'm not certain when the regular dropped items (dorf mask, etc.) started working properly, i think it was also after velious. i think the zone only started working correctly during late luclin or even early pop.

RnF will not be a sufficient outlet that day.
