If we look at classic mechanics vs experience, I don't think any server actually woke the sleeper in velious era, did they? As such is there any proof that the wake the sleeper mechanic was even implemented during p99 era?
Regardless, the ship has sailed and kerafym has flown the nest. Be free young prismat!

Sleeper was indeed awoken during Velious on, at the very least, a few servers.
That being said, I could make an argument against sleeper being awoken too early and that being unclassic.
Basically, Velious launched with an incomplete Sleeper's Tomb as was kind of common for Verant in expansions (polish the uber end game with patches later as folks gear up / discover quest chains, etc).
So on live, eventually Uber_Guild_A (probably Fires of Heaven / Afterlife / Legacy of Steel) keyed up. Remember, the key is NOT soulbound during Velious era. So they sent in a rogue hoping to H/S through and scope the zone.
What do they see upon zoning in? Some human NPC standing there named something like, "!SleeperZoneShoutOn", which was supposed to be the warning shout for entering the zone. There was no mobs in the entire zone! I could probably find the date if I tried.
I'm assuming Sleeper's Tomb was entered early and farmed by P99 neckbeards. In live this would not have been possible.
Also, in live, there was at least 2 bugged sleeper scripts. I think Conquest woke the sleeper once and the sleeper turned into a level 1 human that they killed. Another time after that, script was buggy still and sleeper woke while a warder was still alive and he was reset. Doubtful P99 would recreate those incidents, but they happened.
Someone tell me the dates (such as # of days / weeks after P99 velious launched), when did P99's first warder die? When was the sleeper wakened? I could figure out if he was awakened unclassically.
I would be curious if Rampage would have wakened the sleeper as soon as they did without having the opportunity to farm some warders. Likely more competition would have been present as well, slowing the flow of pixels.
Regardless, if sleeper does ever get reset on Blue, it will be pointless with neckbeard autism levels. I would only be in favor of that if zone becomes no CSR if only 1 warder is left standing. Your best bet is Refresh server, see him woke ever 3-4 years!
