server raid

[Wudan]

lets kill sleeper!:D

[Zadrian]

I hope that Fusion and TR don't gun for the sleeper asap when velious is released.... at least keep him down for a year or two.

Then again, this is an emu server, maybe the GMs would just reset it at some point.

Implying they would even be able to kill him....

[chtulu]

not enough people on the server who will be 60 to kill him

[Holey]

ti would take ewveryone lol

[falkun]

Doesn't matter if they can kill the sleeper or not. Once all the warders have been killed (making the Sleeper targetable), they don't come back. It's not about killing the Sleeper, its about depriving a large majority of the server population access to primal weapons.

[EkireiTheNecro]

I'm guessing it'll be about a month after Velious release by the time they purposefully ruin it for everyone else.

[falkun]

Side question. What are the primals' actual names, are they "ancient prismatic (weapon)" or are they "primal velium (weapon)"? Why was this change made?

[Raavak]

Sleeper was nothing but a built-in griefing system. Remember, after enough complaints they added back in dragons down there later that had similar, but renamed drops (the weapons). Instead of primal it was called prismatic or something.

[Rogean]

Sleeper is unkillable, he has massive regen.

And before all you supernerds start going BUT OHMAHGAWD HE WAS KILLED ON RALLOS ZEK: There was a very specific bug introduced during the week or two that the sleeper raid took place that completely negated NPC Regen (ie they had none).

So basically "primal velium (weapon)" was dropped originally. And after the sleeper was awakened, they eventually put other dragons down there that dropped "ancient prismatic (weapon)"? Thanks for answering this!

To me at least, its not about killing the sleeper, but I would very much enjoy a shot at getting a primal velium/ancient prismatic weapon. I've heard that by the time you get ST keyed, it really only takes 2-3 groups to kill the mobs that drop these weapons. Which is perfect for a smallish guild like mine.

[Raavak]

My memory had faded with time and lots of alcohol since then, but if I remember correctly the mini-bosses still dropped primal velium 2-hand weapons after the Sleeper was awakened (yay knight classes). The duel wielding melee had to get used to switching out weapons really quick in order to keep avatar on.

Yeah, I was in one of those Johnny-come-lately guilds that had 6-12 keys and was just starting to farm minis before the Sleeper was awakened.

[baalzy]

Well, you'd hope that all guilds would realize that there is nothing to be gained from awakening the sleeper and never do it. Cause then you're denying your alts the chance at those weapons as well.

[Kika Maslyaka]

how much you want to bet, that there will be just "that one guild" who will do out of spite? :D

[beaon]

I vote no. I'd like primal + sod pls thx. Dont wake the sleeper farm dragons instead. :)

[falkun]

spite

Sadly, this is all it takes. Baalzy, you are expecting guilds/persons to think logically.

[beaon]

The only reason why guilds woke the sleeper in the past was to get a gear leg-up on competitors. Mostly for a head start into SOL. Thats not the case now. Though I would say that if there was ever a place where I'd like an exception to be made from Classic EQ it would be with this Sleeper Event cock block mechanism. Id be game for a serious penalty, like dragons don't spawn for several months but permanently was never a good idea.

But honestly Kunark was just launched, why are we talking about this? :p

[Kika Maslyaka]

well considering the Classic content basically ENDS with the Sleeper being awakened, the devs have 5 potential options:

1. Just leave at it (thought it will get boring after a while)

2. Develop new custom content beyond this point

3. Make Sleeper killable

4. Do not have Sleeper Awakened trigger

5. Have a continues Gm event, where Sleeper starts to roam around the world killing everything in sight - both players and npcs.
Any ncp killed by a Sleeper will no longer respawn, and any player killed by the Sleeper is deleted from the server... Now that will be the END OF THE WORLD :D

[beaon]

lol @ #5

[Daldaen]

AOE Groups in PoFear or PoHate please. That'd be good funs.

Wrong, but I guess you are omniscient.

I was there brew. I was the one who fended off Stynkfyst and his gay crew until my guildpals (AD) could arrive, dog.

In conclusion; Sleeper was regenning, GM confirmed no bugs were being used once they depopped him on the first day and repopped him on the second day.

OUR WHISTLE WAS FING CLEAN.

[yaaaflow]

I never got to see the sleeper event happen on live so I personally will definitely be pulling for his release pretty much asap. Provided I'm still playing p99 at that time of course. Seems like one of those iconic moments that this server is all about, no?

Now that would be an awesome way to end the server. I put my vote there. Last one standing wins.

Something tells me it will be the Sleeper :D:D:D
Then he can get a guild tag which will say "I have beat EverQuest" :D
Too bad we won't be around to see him show that off around EC tunnel :D:D:D

[Rogean]

I remember everyone on the combine server gathering outside ST in Eastern Wastes when we were getting ready to wake the sleeper. Everyone was ready to see him rampaging around slaughtering all the mobs and other dragons.




And then the script bugged out. He never made it outside ST.
