No not really. That's your opinion. The Devs were trying to re-create classic EQ...the sleeper is in classic EQ. To pretend to know their intentions is sort of silly. For all we know, they are hoping the server would rotate the warders for as long as possible. You can't speak to the dev's intentions for both p99, or the original EQ dev team.

I don't play on green either so I have no skin in the game. This is something I disagree with you on. The manastone is completely different than waking the sleeper. It's apples and oranges as another person said.

I do enjoy your posts and appreciate your opinions, however on this specific topic I can see nobody will change your mind. Just like most issues it's pointless to argue so GL.

Thanks for the good luck, and I appreciate the civil discussion as always from you!

I don't think the "your opinion" argument is very good to be frank. I could just throw it back at you and we would be back to square one.

I have never claimed to know with 100% certainty what the P99 Dev's are thinking. I am not them. However, you can take an educated guess, and use facts to come up with the more likely scenario. In this case, re-creating the Sleeper is enough to be pretty confident in the assertion the P99 Dev's want the Sleeper mechanic to be triggered. It would be way easier to just not do it, and justify it. There are plenty of non-classic things in P99 already.

Claiming the opposite, that the P99 Dev's don't want Sleeper to be awoken, has literally zero evidence so far. I would love to see some if people have it. I also do not believe they would want rotations, as they have had plenty of opportunities to do so, and generally stay away from them. We do know that wasn't their intention either.

Again, I am not sure why people are struggling with the concept of time limited events. Most monsters/loot are not time limited, they have no mechanic to stop their spawning after a condition. Manastone and Sleeper do have this mechanic. The mechanic in itself is the same, the only difference is how long the timer goes for. With the case of Manastone it is a fixed number, which Sleeper it is a voting system that expends the time every day the players do not kill him. It's really not that complex or interesting.
