That's like saying that a politician's campaign during elections sounds pretty good.

Actually it's more like saying I want to see a movie after watching a trailer for it. I wish I hadn't looked actually. Now I am thinking about checking it out.

It's the same concept. In both examples and with the sleeper itself, you're getting a preview that is based less in reality than in positive marketing (though as a glass-half-empty guy, I'd prefer to call it "lies").

This. Looking forward to the launch on April 10th, it has Classic - Velious upon release.

Boxing and going past Velious makes it a no go for me. I enjoy seeing options out there though!

Now compared to P1999 the quality of the server and its approximation to classic are very low, and if you don't believe me read http://epicemu.com/forum/monk-mitigation-or-ac-general (summary: they made relative level a factor in damage calculations only one month ago, and in a totally arbitrary way). Nevertheless after chatting a while we both decided that if the Sleeper ever launched for real with a decent population we'd have to consider moving there. Part of it is the boxing (I'd be curious to try it, war/enc ofc) but most of it is the tokens to spawn raid mobs. Think about this: the endgame scene on P1999 is so bad that we are seriously considering playing on a server that added relative level to damage calculations one month ago and has hundreds of other bugs.

Nothing has changed since I wrote this 8 months ago. Who knows, maybe it is just too buggy, but I'll definitely give the Sleeper a shot, and I'm sure so will a lot of other people.

Curious, are you going to make a chanter? I'm thinking of giving it a shot also, lets group up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
