Good enchanters back then could lock down trains. They mezed and buffed.
Charming wasn't a thing back in Classic Era. At least it wasn't how the class was generally played. Sure, there may have been a few one offs here and there but chanters back then stacked INT. Not CHA.

100% agree, except I've dug into classic sources and Enchanters
absolutely did charm back in classic ... they were just the very clear minority. Plenty of others
tried charming, but found that it was too risky, and grouping was much faster XP.

Chanter play on P99 was a revolution that completely changed the way the class is played.

See, this is where I get lost. If this was the same game as back in '99 it'd be impossible to "change how the class is played". Literally more than
ten times as many Enchanters played on live as do here. It makes zero logical sense that ten times as many players wouldn't figure out how to play the class, but a few geniuses at P99 would.
The "Occam's razor" (ie. simplest) answer isn't that 1/10th of the players magically learned how to play better than 10x that number on live, playing for two years ... it's that the
emulator's rules changed from live. And again, no other class magically changed how it's played the way Enchanters (and to a lesser extent other charm classes) have.
