Very cool read

[Wilbur]

Personally I rate the Kerafyrm kill the highest, the amount of time/work/mass zerging that went into it is beyond all else.

Its only been done once, and will never be done again.

At least not until the next expansion ;-)

[Wilbur]

He's been woken on every server.

Only killed once though.

[Ellay]

I believe there was 0 loot, he was overall not meant to be killed so did not have a loot table.

[Wilbur]

Yeah, No loot.

[Xzin]

I guess it is like climbing Everest or going to the moon. What do you REALLY get as a direct result? Nothing. Some rocks, photos maybe.

But this ignores all of the tangental factors. Velcro (ok not really). Tang. Memory Foam. Rockets. All of the work leading up to it.

Anybody remember Shadowbane server hacking? The Dain EQ event? UO special server events?

[Wilbur]

Fuck me, I hated that fucking Shawl quest...

The amount of times I had to do that thing early on in my EQ career because one of our "allies" had all but completed it ... :-|

[PhyrraM]

Never played EQ, but curious as to the event...

Did the 4 guardian dragons have loot tables? Did they respawn, even if The Sleeper didn't?

[Ellay]

Yes, all 4 guardians dropped Primal Weapons which were the best weapons in the game for the longest time. Even after some expansions they were still the best around.

If you killed all 4, the Sleeper would awake and wreak havoc, but this wasn't even close to the bad part. You would no longer be able to get Primal weapons after awakening. Usually a guild that was completely geared out would do this to set themselves apart from the rest of the server or a guild that wanted to screw over everyone. Due to the very high amounts of drama this caused about 95% of all guilds that woke the Sleeper were destroyed/disbanded within the first 2 months it was that devastating.

(they later created similar items in the zone about a year later that had the same stats though)

[Wilbur]

Yeah /me still has some Prismatic weapons.
