Server History Lesson?

It was a terrible design on the original developers part ... which is exactly why they fixed it in Luclin to where you could still get the old content even after the Sleeper woke. With that fix I don't see it as a blemish, and in fact I think it's kind of cool that there's a way a highly motivated and organized group of players could have a permanent effect on the world/story.

Here I think there will be an entirely different solution. Green/recycle won't even get Velious and the Sleeper until the server only has a year or so left. It will probably take a few months after Velious is released before anyone can kill it, and then once they do it won't be long before the whole thing starts over and their great "permanent" accomplishment is erased.

Designed-in griefing. After all the guild fighting and griefing over other content its kind of stupid it was put in, and even worse that it was re-created here despite hindsight.

Was it more classic or less classic when the Warders still spawned?

Are you saying the sleeper was never woke on your server when you played back in 2000-2001 ?

It was classic the way it played out on all servers including this one.

And with the amount of non classic changes they have already made. Just reset it and let everyone have there fun.

Yeah I have no idea who/what Swish is talking about.

I do remember after the mass MQ ban TMO got a bunch of uncontested targets because so many IB (or was it TR at that point?) were deleveled. I was actually pretty curious to see who from TMO was hit and I remember being pleasantly surprised to see that most or all of the senior members were not involved. Zee, Loly, Marley, Eccezan, Alarti, etc. So you can say what you will about them or TMO but at least they were not MQing, (or managed to not get caught...)

There were definitely a few non-officer TMO who got deleveled, but I remember a lot of gloating in ventrilo when we got a bunch of free targets after the server repop, since the core raiders were essentially untouched while TR had several of their senior members (particularly their pullers who were always snagging FTE) deleveled.

Dirty dirty MQ'ers. Need to be more sneaky, like all the people selling jboots.
