It's pretty funny to watch a poll with options about 'stagnating in Velious' when it's been out all of 6 months and Sleeper's Tomb was maybe 10% of the total raid content. Remember, the server sat in Kunark for 5 full years while Nilbog gradually worked on Velious. Also I'm pretty sure Nilbog hates Luclin with a passion.
What I am hoping for: over the next year or so Nilbog/Rogean let the server continue for another year or so sans Sleeper (classic) while they finish the Velious era content. We still have tons of bugs to fix (Paladin/SK defense, nonclassic quests etc, TOV re-itemization) and new zones to implement (Chardok etc). Hopefully they will also implement some sort of correlated spawn mechanism to make the raid scene less of a clusterfuck. Once all the work is done, they have a big GM event and reset Sleeper's Tomb, merge red into Blue, and launch a new Blue server with the correct progression timeline. I'm pretty sure this second Blue server, with a correct timeline, has been Nilbog's goal from the beginning.
