Point being, best argument to reset the warders is to test them properly ready for green. In my opinion.

Resetting the sleeper wasn't classic.

Except on Tallon Zek?
I mean you're right: resetting the sleeper wouldn't be classic. But as I said, having it killed so soon after Velious's release also wasn't classic. And not having the Sleeper (or the pre-Sleeper version of Velious) for multiple year of Velious is also not classic.

At the end of the day, Blue is just not classic (in lots of ways, not just the Sleeper). So really it's entirely up to R&N what they want to do, because any decision will be unclassic in some way regardless. All I'm certain of is that they won't make P99 go for another ten years without a chance to see pre-waking Velious, because the goal of the project is to let people re-experience classic EQ, and "pre-waking Velious" is one era of it.

However, when I said before that I think the devs will respawn the Sleeper on Blue someday, I wasn't considering Green. Green will likely "takes the pressure off", and let people re-experience that era of EQ, so on Blue the Sleeper may very well stay dead forever.

And who knows, with custom content coming pre-waking ST loot might not even be desired in the future.
