Sleeper's Tomb [Archive]

Hello,

I am not sure if I quite understand how this zone works. Once you wake up papa dragon a bunch of the named bosses disappear from inside the zone right? Looking at the wiki there is no known loot, I am assuming because he is neigh impossible to beat, level 99 and what not. So what's the point? Does he have to be woken up to unlock new velious content? Seems kind of shitty that all those item's are unobtainable now. (Sceptre of Destruction, how many are on blue anyways?)

Rampage screwed us all over and is the #1 hated guild on p99 blue.
:mad:
They ran to WoW with their tails between their legs so they could avoid running their name into the ground any further. As other hated guilds have demonstrated the longer you stick around the worse your guilds reputation becomes. They literally woke the sleeper then left the server. I mean WTF.
Most of these guilds members are smug bastards anyways. They get joy from flaunting their items no one else can ever get.

So you'll never be able to witness Sleeper on P99 blue because of rampage. *spits*

So something about sleeper wakes up and flys across the world to vox kills her, naggy kills him, some other places.. I actually forget the lore part.

The only reason to wake the Sleeper was to make some items no longer obtainable, in order to make those already looted more valuable and unique.

There is no other reason to wake the Sleeper, and anyone who pretends otherwise is either ignorant or lying.

Rampage was unhappy with the politics of the raid scene, unhappy with themselves with internal contention between members, and were angry and spiteful of the server.

So like a petulant child that doesn't want to play with a toy anymore yet loathes the idea of others playing with said toy, destroyed it - thus waking the Sleeper before they quit the game.

A few of them did stick around, but the majority of them left the server.

You can talk to some of the old school members of Rampage and they will tell you the story.

It's a nice foray into true nerd drama that has become part of the history of p99.

It still makes me sad knowing the Sleeper was woke only to ruin it so no one else could do so.

Give me a break. It's entirely possible (and likely, even) that some of the people who participated in waking the sleeper enjoyed it in and of itself, not just because they were trying to spite the rest of the server or increase the future value of their rods.

I think you underestimate just how important a valuable rod is.

***Honestly just talk to some of the members of Rampage, many of them are candid about it. Sure, there was some enjoyment in the experience of waking the Sleeper, but the primary motive truly was giving the server the biggest middle finger they could before they quit p99.

I was an officer of Rampage. I can't speak for everyone else, but like I said before, waking the sleeper is the biggest event in Everquest and I wanted to experience it. I play Everquest for fun, not out of some weird anger to keep casuals from experiencing content. Not everything is about you.

justify it any way, but you knew damn well it was dickish.
the storys we all heard from the past were enough to experience it yet let our museum of a server enjoy the fruits. "you" just had to have the apple and were tickled it would be pissing others off.
though we already knew you would be doing this and if the tables were turned, it wouldnt have been "us".
in other words the "other" guild would have had let many more loots drop.

If you were the top guild in a game for quite some time and wanted to leave the server for greener pastures but there was one last major, game changing event left to experience, would you honestly just walk away or would you come together for one last time as a guild and participate in it?

Anyone that says they would not participate because they would get more enjoyment from knowing they left up some content for everyone else they would potentially never see again are completely lying or are modern day Saints.

All the other propaganda is just what people are telling themselves because they want to stay mad because they missed the experience/pixels.

Experience the content? There's like 3 buggy scripts where kerafyrm kills dragons in other zones. Really? Trade that for permanently blocking other people from content? Totally a dick move

This is sugar coating the entire situation though, at least from the perspective I was given by a long time member of Rampage.

You are glossing over a lot of the internal problems the guild was suffering from and other details too.

Point is there were many different elements to why Rampage woke the Sleeper.

Pretending it was to experience the last wondrous piece of EQ1 that p99 offered is only telling a small part of the story. :p

Won't the sleeper return once they get up the "progression" server that resets after so much time? Isn't that still being setup by the devs?

Obviously it is done on blue but I think we should still have something to look forward to on that server, no?

Caiu

06-13-2017, 11:32 AM

Pure speculation. If the new recycle servers gets off the ground and if the sleeper remains asleep till the end of that server then maybe he could be put back to sleep on blue.

That right there shows you a glimpse into the guild and the fact they had some internal issues going on breaking the guild apart well before they ever decided to wake the sleeper.

You realize that p99 isn't instanced, right?

Literally every time you've ever killed something, turned in a quest item that despawns the mob, looted a drop... every time you were denying the person who showed up later the chance to do what you did.

Are you a dick for killing Hadden and looting his earring, and then when someone logs on an hour later to look for him he is denied the chance because you got "the apple" instead?

Are you a dick for turning in a shimmering pearl for your cleric when another cleric wants it too?

Are you a dick for winning a one-time GM event instead of letting the 2nd place guy have the prize?

Are you a dick for winning a BOTB and getting a title instead of the next guy?

Nope.

And Rampage aren't dicks for experiencing content just because it so happens to also deny content to everyone else, either. They might be dicks if they revel in the salt that comes on account of what they did, or if they woke the sleeper solely to spite everyone else. But short of that? That's non-instanced MMO for you.

Oh c'mon, killing the Sleeper is nothing like any of those, or anything else in EverQuest for that matter. It is the only way, in the entire game, that you can affect the world permanently.

Are you a dick for killing Hadden and looting his earring, and then when someone logs on an hour later to look for him he is denied the chance because you got "the apple" instead?

They respawn; Sleeper doesn't.

Someone has to win those; no one has to wake the Sleeper.

I'm sure you can see the difference between killing Hadden and waking the Sleeper. One will respawn every 8? hours forever, the other will remove some mobs from the game who dropped some BiS or otherwise unique items.

Also as far as "experiencing content" is concerned, I fail to see what content are you referring to? Seeing the model of Kerafyrm? Google it and see it, there, you got your content experience.

The person(s) who decided to wake the sleeper were doing it to spite the rest of the server and secure the legacy status of their robes, sceptres, masks, etc.

Rest of the guild members followed because they figured "if I don't go there, they will still do it without me and I won't even be able to say I was there".

You won't ever get Dainty Gloves or that CHA mask on your new enchanter on P99 because some unemployed overweight nerd who hadn't showered in a week decided so after his third daily wank. You're welcome.

i heard that hokushin flew into an autistic rage when a competitor guild got the first Gharn's Fist of Nerdiness and whipped his guild of burning out neckbeards onward into a teary eyed attempt to give their lives some semblance of meaning beyond hemorrhoids and type 2 diabetes

really not much "content" to experience with the sleeper. I checked the twitch and it was basically the same as EQ always is. a lot of boring waiting around, fat dudes mouth breathing in vent, and an occassional glimpse at an ethereal dragon killing ppl

Don't let anyone try and convince you it was anything more than a last ditch effort to "win" p99 by denying select pixels to the rest of the server in perpetuity. Keep in mind, these are the same people who spent their precious vacation hours (or forego having employment at all) to play everquest 16-20 hours a day prior to the start of velious launch

Why not google what a wardar drop looks like and be content? Or play a custom server and give yourself all the wardar loot? There. No need to have the sleeper asleep still!

You guys are grouchy that you were denied content because of what someone else wanted to do, and therefore you're arguing that someone else should have been denied content because of what you want to do.

Again, the "Content" poor Rampage would have been denied is a 30 second script of watching a buggy model killing some models in other zones. No extra loot. In exchange for that they permanently decreased content for everyone else.

Tuurin

06-13-2017, 01:27 PM

Breaking news- there is no new content in EQ unless you play live. Even waking the sleeper is already 10+ year old content and it's been done dozens of times on live servers when it actually was an accomplishment.

It'd be different I suppose if Rampage had woken the sleeper the first weekend that Velious launched or something, but that's not the case so everyone had the opportunity to see ST/Warders if they wanted to. So you can't get some arguably BiS item- every mob in the game is already on farm status without warder drops, so what are we upset about????

Jeez, it's like someone being pissed that someone spoiled the ending of Titanic for them. What'd you think was going to happen? It's a 20 yr-old movie about a 100-yr old historic event. The ship sinks for Christ's sake.

with the amount of 60's on the server, it would have been cool too see them all band together and try to actually kill the sleeper. I know it's been done before on one of the zek's, but it still coulda been interesting if it happened here. That's what I would call "experiencing the content" 17 years later. And then everyone could really stroke their pixeldix all night.

But that would have required a bunch of spoiled children to work together. Which, well, ya know...

with the amount of 60's on the server, it would have been cool too see them all band together and try to actually kill the sleeper.

Here we had the largest, most sumptious Cake ever baked... Just sitting and waiting to be devoured by the entire server, with neverending cupcakes materializing indefinitely, until that majestic, perfect Cake was touched.

Instead of forming a band of worthy eaters together to successfully eat that gigantic Cake, we had one greedy child that said to themselves, "I got enough cupcakes, can't even begin to eat the Cake, but no matter! I want to make sure no one else eats the Cake!"

Not having the ability or fortitude to even begin to eat the Cake, that greedy little child had no intention of trying to eat the Cake.

They ran to the Cake, holding their fists high, smashed the cake into lots of pieces, stomped their feet around on the Cake and rejoiced, "Hahaha! No one else will ever see the Cake! Only me!"

The child then told everyone after destroying the Cake that they did it only because they'd never tasted the Cake, and so felt it was their given right to try to eat the Cake.

"What did the Cake taste like, child?"

"I don't know I was too busy enjoying the moment of destroying the Cake! But it was worth every second and I would do it again!"

"Child, what about the cupcakes that used to miraculously appear for the end of times as long as the Cake was left alone?"

"Who cares, I got plenty of cupcakes, and I am soon to go on a no-sugar/fructose diet where I cannot eat cupcakes any longer! The only thing I have not seen is the Cake and so now I have. That is all."

Yes, yes... makes sense, but only to the child.
