Sleeper's Tomb

[Toiletzombie]

Hello,

I am not sure if I quite understand how this zone works. Once you wake up papa dragon a bunch of the named bosses disappear from inside the zone right? Looking at the wiki there is no known loot, I am assuming because he is neigh impossible to beat, level 99 and what not. So what's the point? Does he have to be woken up to unlock new velious content? Seems kind of shitty that all those item's are unobtainable now. (Sceptre of Destruction, how many are on blue anyways?)

Rampage screwed us all over and is the #1 hated guild on p99 blue.

They ran to WoW with their tails between their legs so they could avoid running their name into the ground any further. As other hated guilds have demonstrated the longer you stick around the worse your guilds reputation becomes. They literally woke the sleeper then left the server. I mean WTF.
Most of these guilds members are smug bastards anyways. They get joy from flaunting their items no one else can ever get.

So you'll never be able to witness Sleeper on P99 blue because of rampage. *spits*

So something about sleeper wakes up and flys across the world to vox kills her, naggy kills him, some other places.. I actually forget the lore part.

The only reason to wake the Sleeper was to make some items no longer obtainable, in order to make those already looted more valuable and unique.

There is no other reason to wake the Sleeper, and anyone who pretends otherwise is either ignorant or lying.

Give me a break. It's entirely possible (and likely, even) that some of the people who participated in waking the sleeper enjoyed it in and of itself, not just because they were trying to spite the rest of the server or increase the future value of their rods.

I think you underestimate just how important a valuable rod is.

***Honestly just talk to some of the members of Rampage, many of them are candid about it. Sure, there was some enjoyment in the experience of waking the Sleeper, but the primary motive truly was giving the server the biggest middle finger they could before they quit p99.

I didn't deny that this might be the case. I just said Izmael was probably incorrect that this was the only motivation for everyone involved.

I was an officer of Rampage. I can't speak for everyone else, but like I said before, waking the sleeper is the biggest event in Everquest and I wanted to experience it. I play Everquest for fun, not out of some weird anger to keep casuals from experiencing content. Not everything is about you.

justify it any way, but you knew damn well it was dickish.
the storys we all heard from the past were enough to experience it yet let our museum of a server enjoy the fruits. "you" just had to have the apple and were tickled it would be pissing others off.
though we already knew you would be doing this and if the tables were turned, it wouldnt have been "us".
in other words the "other" guild would have had let many more loots drop.

You realize that p99 isn't instanced, right?

Literally every time you've ever killed something, turned in a quest item that despawns the mob, looted a drop... every time you were denying the person who showed up later the chance to do what you did.

Are you a dick for killing Hadden and looting his earring, and then when someone logs on an hour later to look for him he is denied the chance because you got "the apple" instead?

Are you a dick for turning in a shimmering pearl for your cleric when another cleric wants it too?

Are you a dick for winning a one-time GM event instead of letting the 2nd place guy have the prize?

Are you a dick for winning a BOTB and getting a title instead of the next guy?

Nope.

And Rampage aren't dicks for experiencing content just because it so happens to also deny content to everyone else, either. They might be dicks if they revel in the salt that comes on account of what they did, or if they woke the sleeper solely to spite everyone else. But short of that? That's non-instanced MMO for you.

I for one blame Franswa.
