why would the gameplay ever be the same in year one of a game versus year 24 of a game?

It had nothing to do with perceptions: the game was how it was, and it had more than 10x the number of players as P99. All those people didn't just ignore a spell on their spell list because they were dumb or had false perceptions.
If charming was as awesome as it is here, Enchanters back then would have (for instance) charmed in groups. But they didn't, and you can see as much in old forum posts. It wasn't because of stupidity, it was because
charming was too risky.
It's just like with binding wounds in combat. People here kept patting themselves on the back for how smart they were doing something people in '99 were too dumb to do ... until it was proven that it was impossible in '99, and the problem was that our emulator wasn't emulating properly.

We have the AoE limit don't we? Are you arguing we shouldn't have it?
But, as I've said before, we don't need some special meta rule to make the server more classic. We just need to make the emulator itself more accurate, and there are already tickets (with solid evidence) in the bug forums explaining how to do that.
