Why can't you just admit Sleeper isn't the same thing as Manastone? lol
They are not the same thing. Just accept it.
If you want to say they intended the event to be triggered. Great. No disagreement. Intent is one thing. Action is another. Players are still in control. Players can all agree not to trigger the event. Choice. It was left in the players hands to do with what they will.
If there was a specific date in Live History where Devs and Gms triggered this event, you'd be right. P99 Devs would follow that history. Alas ... it's not so.
Choice is what separates the two. It's that simple. No long drawn out posts from you are necessary. You want to drag this out because you can't admit your original comparison was wrong.
It's called "Project 1999" for a reason. It's not called "Project Whatever" or "Project Pick And Choose"
Manastone on P99 is made available to mimic Everquest Live History. Manastone was not designed by the ya know, the people that actually designed it, to be removed. It was removed because of obvious imbalance issues that were not seen at it's original conception. If the P99 devs were concerned about it's imbalance they would never have allowed it on the server to begin with.
They are strictly following history however. Alas ..
Devs remove manastone as part of an official time line. They are merely following the same foot steps of the original development team.
Players either leave sleeper up or trigger the event
Not similar. Nice try though.

This is just a lot of nonsense. You can disagree with me, but you haven't given any evidence to disprove my points except you don't like what I have to say.
P99 is not the same thing as the live Everquest servers, either now, or in the past. It is a customized imitation, with no requirement to follow live history. There are plenty of custom changes on P99 already. You are trying to blur the lines between Everquest live back in 1999-2002 and P99. They are two separate things, even if you don't want to admit it.
It is a fact that on P99, Manastone is designed to be removed after a fixed time. It is specifically coded to do so.
It is a fact that on P99, Sleeper is designed to be awoken. It is specifically coded to do so.
It is a fact that players enjoy waking the Sleeper, as it is the statistically common outcome across all servers, both live and on P99.
It is a fact that pixel removal denies pixels regardless of who does it. If you are angry at one party for doing it, you must also be angry at any other party who does it. Otherwise you are just using this as a smokescreen to go after the specific party you don't like.
