The Sleeper fiction is the same for everyone and its been in game for years.
Interesting as I've never heard of them before the blog about them a couple of days ago and have played the game since it hit retail. Maybe I needed to be in beta or alpha or pre-alpha or Ovuer's broom closet to have access to it but I'm not that leet I guess...
All I'm getting from you guys is "Go run a bunch of missions and figure it out yourself you lazy terd!" and to me that means "They are whatever you want them to be because CCP has no official stance or linkable lore/fiction/whatever on them."
Listen, all I want is to know who the hell they are. Same as everyone else who cares about such things. That is not too much to ask by far. It should be as simple as clicking the Backstory button on the left over there and finding them. I've tried. It's just a big load of nothing.
For Pete's sake you guys are guarding this stuff way to fanatically. I'm not asking for someone to FedEx me their first born child in a box here. I just want a linky to the official lore/fiction.
And don't give me any more of that "You must be this leet to know this stuff." garbage. It's getting very old.
Sleeper information and technology has been part of the game since the COSMOS missions were introduced. It's fractured lore that takes a bit of work and effort to uncover and gain some understanding. If you search the market for Sleeper you'll see many items listed.
There's also a chance that the people who have done all the work and know as much about the Sleepers as there is to know, don't necessarily want to blab on the boards, and cause a gold rush mentality to the areas where Sleeper tech is located. This is after all a PVP game at all levels, and information gives you an edge over other players, which can be turned into profit. There's nothing stopping you from going to the COSMOS areas and doing the work like everyone else, but people here may be reluctant to share information for free, and give up their potential ISK making edge when M10 arrives.
Just giving a different point of view to yours, where you might be thinking CCP should be spelling it all out in a nice simple package. They probably want to give a sense of discovery and mystery to what will happen in the expansion, but there are some clues already in the game if you're willing to do the research.
Cheers
