Having a waken-able Sleeper made wayyyyy more sense on live.

Velious was released here on August 2nd, 2015, ie. more than two years ago. You know what happened on live in that time? Shadows of Luclin (1 year after). Planes of Power (less than 2 years after). Heck in a few more months if we were "on schedule" we'd not only have LoY but also LDoN.

Why does that matter? Because by the time LDoN came out no one cared about the loot from the warders. I mean maybe some people might have still wanted some items from it, but in general when you're level 65 with 200 AAs and Plane of Time drops, who cares about primal weapons?

PLUS, if we were going by live the warders would have been restored by now (without the Sleeper).

So while in some sense the dev's decision is the "most classic" choice, it's really an incredibly unclassic one this long after Velious's release. Not even Brad McQuaid himself would let a few players deny everyone else on the server some of the best items in the game for over two years. He would have done the exact same thing the live devs did: either release better items, restore the warders, or do both.

No, not classic. Sleeper is awake. Sorry, but get over it.

No thanks to the OP idea, that's just a way to get rid of the non A/A keys.

I like the idea that someone posted on having warders repop on quakes though but I think it should be more of a rare chance than 100% all 4 pop. Something like a 5% pop chance for each warder on quake. That'd be entertaining and add a nice twist to the quakes, checking the rare chance if a warder popped or maybe even more. That way the server should typically see a warder every few months or so.

Add warders back in but they can only drop cloth caps.

can we delete the in game account of every person who creates this thread?

then we could really clean up the server

also, enjoying the desperation

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

I think it'd be fun to have a yearly Sleeper's reset. I didn't play during early Velious and think it'd be cool to get to experience those fights at some point.

Once the essence lens quest goes in a lot of old keys will be turned in anyhow.

A great idea ive had myself before. we might as well have all the classic content if we are going to be playing classic. this is a easy thing that the staff can do to improve the server all around. More targets for thos able to kill them, and more opportunities to try existing content for other guilds (while top end is occupied in ST) seems like a win, win as the only ppl who loose anything thing are 20 players still around who already have ST loot.
