stormhammer got it a long time before normal live servers got it. No one bases timelines using stormhammer as a reference you fucking peon.
And in any case, people were discussing it here as though it would happen once the sleeper was woken, which it wont.

I love you Gwence... but... actually live servers got the Sleeper's Tomb revamp during Luclin, just prior to the release of PoP - as this other guy stated. I know this because my guild released the Sleeper during Velious, and returned to check out the revamped zone during Luclin, just prior to the release of PoP.
Here you can check out my guild website update from Oct.10, 2002:

And if you still don't believe me... here's the patch where the revamp was introduced

** An Ancient Arises **
Deep within the recesses of a cave yet unknown to the world at large, a
dark, menacing figure parts with the slumber that has kept him silent
for ages. The eyes of a magnificently ominous beast pierce through the
darkness, his memories flowing freely once more. In the depths of this
beast's mind sparks the knowledge that his prophetic savior has been
released from the ancient magiks of time, let loose upon an
unsuspecting world where the kin shall once again reign supreme.
"My master's shackles have been trounced, and so it is written that in
this world that has been so deftly overrun by pitiful mortals, he shall
bring power back to those of the scale." The deep rumbling voice of the
beast lingers throughout the cavernous hideaway, the barely
distinguishable figure of a mighty lizard moves through the stone and
dirt and dust as if to leave the gloomy surroundings and find his place
once again upon Norrath proper.
"For far too long have I been a prisoner to the overwhelming might that
kept me in a state of secluded sleep; for far too long have I been
victim to the ancestral elemental forces keeping my master at bay. Now
I awaken and bring life back to the disciples; now shall the lifeblood
of the Four once again spread the word of prophecy!" The footsteps of
this great beast are slow but sure, moving through the depths of the
gaping mountain retreat towards the surface. Along the walls, pebbles
and stones that have remained dormant for years crumble and crack,
falling to the ground as the immense beast walks past.
A maze of dead ends and broken paths twists and turns in the expanse
beyond the figure's resting place. The skeletons of those who had tried
- and failed - to make their way to him in the years he spent in forced
slumber remain, tumbled landmarks of heroes long lost. Slowly he moves,
his reptilian eyes darting back and forth looking for any meager meals
that may still be available. As he proceeds, he steps atop a mighty
echelon, overlooking the bodies that could not defy the magical
properties of the cave; fools of mortal thought, incapable of fathoming
the power that lay beyond them. "Time has been good to you, my faithful
warren... let us both pray that I no longer need you. The time for the
revival is at hand."
