Nov. 17th, 2003 from the looks of it.

This thread had more details on how it was done. Apparently by using a lot of pets and a whole lot of rezzes.

Sleeper is probably the rarest mob period. If you haven't seen one yet, you will not see it unless they are still sleeping on the 2 new servers.

I do wonder how we could handle sleeper now with a raid part of level 75 toons with over 25k hp buffed tanks, more powerful gears and better spells and pets, monster manaburns, etc. It'd still probably end up a mostly zerg raid but in less than 3 hours.

Sort of...

This quest is how one goes about gaining access to the zone Sleeper's Tomb.

There are two versions of the zone. I will call them the Pre-Awaken and Post-Awaken version.

In the Pre-Awake version, the final four mobs are guarding the spell/curse/whatever that is keeping the Sleeper asleep. When Velious was new, it took raid forces just to reach this area and slay the warders guarding the Sleeper. You could kill three of them without anything happening. The three would respawn just like other raid mobs. If all four were killed, then the Sleeper would awaken. This kicked off a scipt on server.

First the Sleeper would attack (and kill) everyone that was in the Sleeper Tomb's zone. The Sleeper would then make its way to Skyshrine killing players along the way. Yada, Yada, Yada, and the script ended.

Since the Sleeper was awakened, the zone takes on the Post-Awaken version. Some of the mobs and loot are different, but you could still raid there and everything was fine. Some loot was only available in the Pre-Awaken version of the zone.

Back in 2003, the Sleeper scriipt had been run on most of the "blue" (non-PVP servers). The script was well known by this point. Many people thought that the Sleeper was unkillable. In actuality, the Sleeper only had really high AC and a gazillion-bajillion HP. On one of the Zek servers, everyone banded together and fought the Sleeper in an orgnaized fashion instead of just getting slaughtered by the script.

The Sleeper was never really designed to be killed or raided.
