One of the scariest newbie moments I had in EQ was when the hag in unrest charned a level 40 barbarian warrior in full plate. whenever the hag spawned everyone would go to the zone enterance. Also some npc in Freeport used to charm people though I think that was a bug since it cast through the walls. My friend had just started playing and thee I was charmed and killing him. It took him awhile to stop being mad at me.
Charming was extra terrible for me, because literally every time I was charmed in the day my dial up connection would drop too. I've always wondered why this was. Did the server suddenly start sending me too many packets to update my location frequently, effectively DOS'ing me? Was there something in the packets that looked like a disconnect signal? I'd love a time machine and some network gods to explain that one to me.

Made being charmed all the more terrifying. I guess it's like 'blacking out' once you're under their control.
