Hunted about a bit and found thier msg board.
Be aware you will need chinese language pack installed ( well I did anyway )

Seems to be a ele ( time?) guild.
Always wondered about that....

Wel if you look at the video...that person is running with just a target bar? no other UI windows up?
Also its a good way to get your guild disbanded if their on a SoE server....terrible sploit to get sleeper out.
Seems very odd also they suddenly had adds.
Too many odd things about that fight.

I have a friends in my guild that know a lot of the people on this little event. The Avatars spawned and the raid wiped. 15%... uggg... hence the adds later. very real.
Another thing, The video does not show it, but they were fighting Sleeper for better than an hour, i dont know exact time, but it was a very long drawn out event.

Then the sleeper has changed, he used to have too many hp to be killed...

You have to consider that when Sleeper was first awakened on most servers that most guilds were only ST/ToV equipped at best.
I'm not surprised at all that with the new AAs, gear, and spells that they came close to killing him.

I am not on the traditional Chinese server nor was I at the fight but I can read Chinese so here are some background info. The server is only enabled up to Velious, there are no AAs and 60+ spells, lv60 is still the limit. The advantages they did have were Veksar, revamped Droga, and other revamped zones with all the gears. A lot of the players used to play English EQ so there were no shortage of experienced players. Another thing that may have helped them was the resist change. After the change I think some mobs that were unslowable previously can be slowed, i.e. Emperior Ssra. The guild in question, Peace of Formosa managed to land slow on Sleeper, from that point on they pretty much rez zerged Sleeper down to 15% then server GMs repoped the 4 warders and wiped everyone out.
Sounds like a Kael / Sebilis situation where the GMs are modding the game from the US version and probably changed Sleeper at the same time.
These non SoE patched servers have some very big bugs with them sometimes...like Kael had chain spawning RZ's at one time...ever heared of that on a SoE patched Server?
The only exception is my server (Venril Sathir) which is run by Ubi however its patched by SoE so its a identical copy of a US server in every way. The other 2 ubi servers arnt the same because they need translation etc.
Personally id read nothing into this...as its been said their still playing Velious..so the patches wont be the same.

Notice how they have warder adds? Could of attacked the "asleep" version of the sleeper

Prolly cuz it doesn't have any lewt. Or maybe cuz it has waaay too uber of a lewt table.

Axercis, I am sorry to say but I have a hard time believing that they dont have PoP considering when I viewed the guild website, it showed a member of thier guild standing in front of a corpse of Fennin Ro.
The video is strange and I would really like to know if it is real or not. Hopefully the original poster would come back and shine some light for us.

Gamania is the company that runs traditional Chinese servers. The above link is their promotion for Shadow of Luclin. The release date is 11/25/2003 and they are accepting pre-order now.

The lack of other UI features other than the target bar is because they didn't show their whole screen to save space.

But that isn't "the sleeper". The real sleeper spawns when all warders are dead. All warders weren't dead, however... What they attacked was the sleeping sleeper, which is just a flavor thing in ST
What they did, afaik, was kill the "sleeper" which is supposed to be unattackable in the bubble. ST was before they had unattackable mobs, after all.
So basically, when the real sleeper spawns, that one despawns, and the "awake" sleeper spawns.
They killed the normally unattackable sleeper, which already has been killed by other guilds using the same targeting "exploit".
What they did... Was done years ago. Now, if they actually attacked and almost killed the triggered sleeper, it would be something.
That is, if that isn't an emulator.
