"Endurance" isn't a stat at all in the classic era; it's more properly called stamina. The stamina bar went down from jumping, swimming, and attacking. In most cases stamina regeneration was greater than expenditure so the yellow bar tended not to move. The exception was with heavy weapons (wurmslayer!) and especially dual wielding moderate to heavy weapons. Nothing would change the stamina loss, but having over 100 stamina would reduce the negative effect of running out to merely being unable to jump.

When P1999 first opened there was a sort of hackjob simulation of yellow bar drain, but it couldn't be made to work right on this client (drain rate was far too bad) so was disabled.

Agility gets ignored because folks have to pick and choose their stats and most the time there are more important stats to work on. Agility isn't entirely useless but it provides less overall benefit than stamina or strength.
