We split the pond in MM up into 4 camps on live.
The logic about nerfing charm to emulate classic would be like saying we need to change all the spawn times in the game to be three times as long to emulate crowded zones.

But as for all the rest ... again, it's idiotic to think live Enchanterss didn't try casting the spells on their list, or didn't try wearing Charisma gear (when Verant themselves told them to).

They nerfed kiting, not charming on live: why?
Because nobody who played a enchanter knew how to charm/mez on live. It was a class never in any game ever before.
Mez? Wtf is mez? Nobody understood it. there were no timers, gaming was not even close to as hard core as it is now. Nobody ever played a game where you would "mez enemies while you kill the others" before.
My friend called me on the phone to tell me about this thing he saw, "this guy yelled TRAIN and then like a million gnolls came!"
This game was so new players didn't even know what a train was lol
Nobody would "time" mez and do data sheets on it for christ sake we were fighting with quested weapons from pre kunark for gods sake.
We were exploring. Adventuring. Being amazed at the first 3D open world fantasy game in history.
Aint nobody got time to min/max in a game when you would loose weeks worth of work from one death because EXP was so hard to get.
I cried. CRIED. when I lost my +7 charisma torch my necromancer used into his 20's!
Find one forum post about someone talking about charming from back then, you wont. Because nobody was on that level yet.
My static groups enchanter would chain AOE stun on bad pulls in lower guk!
It was like 5 years into p99 that charming became OP on these servers - because of TECMOS youtube tutorials.
Expecting keyboard turning, mostly kids, snail level
APM gamers to manage charm (with no pet windows of any type) and mez, when they still had like 1 cloth item equipped at 50 is what's 'idiotic'.
If you were on the level of being in a guild where someone was able to use charm successfully, then you were like top 1% of everquest players. Im sorry but that's just a fact. And those people did not share info.
