Actually the "rules" allow for exactly that. It was a mistake for the devs to add the Sleeper event the way it was because nothing player-controlled in a MMORPG should have such permanent consequences. Future MMORPGs learned from Everquest's mistakes, like not having an event that can be used to spite the rest of the server and forever lock them out of content.

First off, the intentions and/or mistakes of the original Everquest developers are irrelevant to P99, as P99 can make whatever changes they want to P99. They are not in the same situation, where they are developing a game organically and reacting to how players respond. The P99 developers know all of the flaws that Everquest has, and put them in P99 anyway.
Whether or not it is a mistake gameplay wise is irrelevant. Obviously the P99 developers like the mistake, or they wouldn't have put it in P99. The P99 developers had to work hard to rebuild the Sleeper script. They didn't do that on accident, they intentionally allow people to wake the Sleeper. Therefore, it is a normal part of the game and not spiteful.
