All Sleeper Server Threads Moved Here, Love Sirken

[Highbrow]

The Sleeper is garbage. The devs and beta testers were all morons and I could tell right away that the server wouldn't make it until summer. I gave it like a week and a half and gfto'ed. It's probably the worst eqemu server I've ever seen, and that's some feat for a server that claims to have spent two years in development. I've literally seen better attempts by random lone dudes who spent a month tinkering with the database. Kegz is so unintelligent and so utterly incompetent that I could tell just from looking at the forums during late beta that the server would probably be a massive failure, and it was. It's only because people are desperate for an alternative to P99 that there's still anyone playing there at all, and I would bet money on Kegz shutting the server down within three months.

Is this server dead? I couldn't even log on their forum, it said I wasn't authorized or some shit.

Their forums are not user friendly, they do in fact suck. You might have to log in twice (I have to every time) and then click on the link for the forums at the top again. This should then finally give you a full list of all the boards and allow you to post.

EQClassic will likely never happen:

edit:

To paraphrase, in that thread I was attempting to ask yeahlight (lead dev/coder) how he planned to deal with the massive database set up and editing required to run a truly 'classic' eq server. this was his response:

Without an agreement in place, I will not be involved in the distribution of SoE's IP. Anyone else is welcome to assume this risk, but it is not going to be me.

which means two things,

a) eqclassic.org as an entity is probably NOT going to host a server themselves and,

b) someone else would need to take over responsibility of not only hosting a server, but also setting up ALL of the relevant npcs, items, etc using PEQ's database (or I guess p99's, if that's publicly available? still not very likely)

That project, once ProjectEQ, now EQC, has been doomed since day 1. I remember logging into IRC for PEQ the night after I proposed to my wife... in 2008...

I knew this shit was never going to be released, I remember following when I graduated high school in 2005

O almost forgot to add one of the coolest features of this server:

2 or so months after release? And green cons even as much as 30+ levels below you can still chain fear, root, mez and land full damage nukes on you at pretty much any resistance level. Anyone trying to level up stays in places like karnors zone-in and velketors zone-in because any zone with spell-casters isn't worth a shit to attempt unless you are bringing multiple groups for a chance at some shitty group gear.

Lol, Kegz is still posting over on rerolled.org singing the same old song of how great his server is and anyone who disagrees is a troll who hasn't tried it. 30+ pages of people pointing out how terrible the server is and Kegz denying it.

Well butter my biscuits, 500+ responses to this thread. I stopped playing months ago now, and I have to say I'm not missing the XP rate, the bugs, the deluded minority who sing the server's praises and call anyone who thinks otherwise a troll.

Let Kegz/Toop be the king of a hill made of dogshit, if he'd put the effort into fixing bugs before the server went up rather than after it he might still have a community playing on it.

Can't say I disagree on any particular point here. Sleeper had a shot but release was lackluster, and rather than listening to the overall player-base Kegz chose to tug on Divinity's dick every chance he could get instead. Reap what you sow and such. Only 2 guilds left on that server. Probably 50ish players on an average night (100ish pop with 2-boxing).

One of the main advertised features was legacy drops. That included manastone at release, and that was about it. Took a month of groups farming CT for hours on end for him to fix/add in rubicite. Took a month to see Jboots added to Drelzna. And even still, simple database additions such as gem encrusted ring, box of abukar, holgresh beads and pre-nerf CoS are still not seen.

Quests and quest drops can be bugged and non-functional, and rather than compensating a player for lost time, you beta-test a "fully released" server for hours on end to make a bug report and hope shit gets fixed in the next 2 months if that.

The staff is lacking, the GM decisions are inconsistent at best, and despite what any of the few remaining fan boys that server has left will tell you, Kegz favors Divinity over anyone else that plays on his box. Not worth a second look, and it will shrivel up and die if P99 ever releases Velious.
