As such, Bbeta's response makes sense. The very real way that went down has lasting implications and reverberations on the people of this server.
It is worth noting that the Sleeper was awakened under these conditions and that it was a massive effectual impact on those who had invested in this server, this space and this reality. Perhaps you are not as invested, perhaps the inter-personal, emotional and strategic minutea do not impact you. I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that most of us who are still here are profoundly effected by these qualities in some way or another. Like it or not, this is a significant aspect of our social world. To diminish the impact of that reality does not seem particularly wise or thoughtful to me.
Of course I am open to differing opinions on this. Just uninspired by thoughtless brevity in responses to people's thoughtful input...

The Sleeper is necessary for any of this? It's a fraction of a fraction more content than what is already available. Go to RnF and find the 28 page thread on Crookstinger. Clearly one doesn't need the Sleeper to be emotionally invested in this server. Hell, if it's inter-personal and strategic minutea that you're really interested in, take a page out of A-Team's book, get a few friends together and come up with strategies to do the hard content with a handful of people. If it's about getting inspects in EC tunnel, tinted armor will do that.
But it's probably just about wanting pixels you can't have. Level up on Green and ride some coattails or start your own server with blackjack and hookers if you want warder loot.
Resetting Sleeper on Blue is silly seeing as they're basically already doing that with Green.
