Plane of Tactics:
Apparently the entire zone was on two seperate factions. It was possible to charm one of the casting wraiths and sick him on a boar and just before he finished casting a spell, break charm with invis. The spell would land and all hell would break loose as all nearby mobs joined in the fight. The trick was to feed in more mobs from whatever faction was starting to lose. Eventually when the whole pit was involved you could begin pulling the giants into the fight. All experience regardless of damage was earned and all the mobs loot remained on the corpses.
Was the best time I ever had in EQ. It was also very dangerous because as soon as one faction had wiped out the other, everything aggroed on you. Me and a few friends finally got caught and teleported to the catacombs where a GM threatend us for awhile.
Wish I still had the screenshots or me gaining 2 AA points in 50 seconds.

this thread is a very good read, to remind ourselves that eq was always a broken game, and charm was broken at least in pop (and probably always was until the super nerf in like GoD era)
as was fear, necro pets, and pathing in general in actual classic
