You miss the point. The cool and intriguing part to them (and to me and alot of other people)wasnt that they could necessarily kill sleeper, it was that in the magical world of Everquest there were event type of mobs that differed from your average run-of-the-mill mobs and a lore based event would trigger only one possible time.

The key word here is one possible time. If you start just spawning sleeper you make him just another raid mob and all of that"epicness" that Loramin calls it is essentially ruined.

Sleeper is SUPPOSED to spawn only ONCE that's the whole damn point. All this talk of respawning him is the same type of talk that eventually killed Everquest in later expansions. Turning a 'world within a world' into just another computer game.

Wasn't there an expansion about what Kerafym did after he woke up?

Recaging The Sleeper is one hell of a plot hook, but let's be honest, we need to take a note from the deep magic of Narnia here; things never happen the same way twice. I.e if you do manage to put Kerafym back to sleep, it's sure as hell not going to be via some 4 warder system like in sleepers tomb.

Do you know the amount of work reseting the sleeper would bring? We can't even have quakes like we should.

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.

The big difference between P99 and actual live servers is that Velious didn't last for 4 years with no end in sight on live servers. Having some of the most valuable raid targets on the box be perma-dead is kind of dumb.
this is what you signed up for though. You signed up for velious and autistically scream about Luclin ruining the game. If anything be mad at the people who woke the sleeper.
