Server-wide Call to reset Sleeper (pls comment if you agree))

[Bbeta]

I'd be in favor of custom content as long as it is relatively close to classic. Respawning the Warders would totally be in the spirit of this ideal, it creates custom content without crushing the spirit of "classic content".

I also agree that Blue is as far from classic as you could possibly get, 10+ years of kunark and velious is not classic in itself and rooted dragons was the icing on the cake.

Let's not forget the day the sleeper was awoken, Reep and Forsaken killed Vulak fair and square, right in front of Rampage and Hokushin, immediately after the Gharns dropped and Reep became the server first Gharns, Hoku and Rampage ran into Sleeper with beads of tears and woke the sleeper. Obviously out of a childish spite to the server, its community and its creators.

Putting the sleeper back to sleep will reset the reputation Rampage left after they woke the sleeper and walked away from the server.

Let's not forget when Rampage first left the server back in 2012 there core went to EQmac, they grinded fast and hard and woke the sleeper after it has been resting for 10 years. They quit that server came back to P99 and inevitably woke the sleeper.

Never forget the tears of Hokushin, never forget the sleeper was awoken by jealousy and rage and inspite of the server

All this “never forget” ranting... Waking the sleeper was like your 9/11.

I play EQ for people and dynamics; for the strategy and push and pull of our community. The loot, advancement and achievement is the substance through which we live out these dynamics, but it is the dynamics that really make this game. We all invest alot of our lives in this. As such, Bbeta's response makes sense. The very real way that went down has lasting implications and reverberations on the people of this server.

It is worth noting that the Sleeper was awakened under these conditions and that it was a massive effectual impact on those who had invested in this server, this space and this reality. Perhaps you are not as invested, perhaps the inter-personal, emotional and strategic minutea do not impact you. I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that most of us who are still here are profoundly effected by these qualities in some way or another. Like it or not, this is a significant aspect of our social world. To diminish the impact of that reality does not seem particularly wise or thoughtful to me.

Of course I am open to differing opinions on this. Just uninspired by thoughtless brevity in responses to people's thoughtful input...

The Sleeper is necessary for any of this? It's a fraction of a fraction more content than what is already available. Go to RnF and find the 28 page thread on Crookstinger. Clearly one doesn't need the Sleeper to be emotionally invested in this server. Hell, if it's inter-personal and strategic minutea that you're really interested in, take a page out of A-Team's book, get a few friends together and come up with strategies to do the hard content with a handful of people. If it's about getting inspects in EC tunnel, tinted armor will do that.


But it's probably just about wanting pixels you can't have. Level up on Green and ride some coattails or start your own server with blackjack and hookers if you want warder loot.


Resetting Sleeper on Blue is silly seeing as they're basically already doing that with Green.

Is it necessary? No. Is there a solid argument why not to? Haven't seen one yet. Any content that can fit into the server relative to aesthetic and goal that can be added will create more experiences. I understand that many are pixel obsessed. Believe it or not, we are not all motivated by that. It is the currency of achievement in this game but not the reason. What makes pixels earned in EQ different than every other experience in every other game? The people and the strategy. After all, the pixels were essentially outdated even when they were launched 20 years ago.

I do appreciate you for bringing something requiring more than 2 firing neurons to type. The idea of attempting to tackle existing targets with less people and more efficiency fits right into the spirit of what I am expressing. That's the stuff. I think it is a great idea, and, I do not see that as an argument to not have the full spectrum of available content at our fingertips as well.

What surprises me the most, and I am happy for the reflection, is how much "meh" there is. Granted, exponentially more folks are for it, the ones who are "meh" or trolling the negative post 4x more frequently in this thread, in proper troll fashion.

Never forget the tears of everyone trying to rationalize bringing them back. Sorry you don't have warder loot.
