The P99 developers are not bound to make P99 exactly the same as the original game.

They have had years now to fix the Sleeper script since Blue, and chose not to do so. Therefore, they want to keep Sleeper the way he is. That means it is perfectly fine and not spiteful to play that game mechanic whenever you want.
As I said before, the original Everquest developers are not relevant to P99, because the original Everquest developers are not making the decisions here, and P99 is not organically building an MMO during a time when game developers knew little about them. One of the problems I see people have on the forums is they are blending their thoughts and experiences of the original game with P99. On the one hand that means P99 is doing a great job replicating the original game. On the other hand, it creates a lot of strange ideas as to what P99 is. P99 is a custom server that the P99 developers can do whatever they want with. They choose to try and replicate the game as it was in 1999-2002, but they actually have no obligation to do so. The custom content they already have put in prove this.

Choosing to keep it as it was in classic does not mean it can't or won't be used in spite. That's the thing. Unless the majority of the server votes for it it's basically done in spite.
I honestly, genuinely don't care either way. I just wish the devs in the future are open to changing the script to making it a timed event only, or a reversible event in some way (don't ask me how lol) so that once it's awake it stays awake for a while then goes back to sleep and can't be reawakened for a while. Wouldn't that solve the issue? Assuming there won't be a merging of the servers that is.
