This is what I remember.
When I first started on RZ (roughly May '99) it was still possible to charm and fear other players. It was also possible to loot their weapon/shield/ranged slots (I lost my uber Dwarven Axe outside of Crushbone)
It was a real menace to players to be charmed and then made to attack the guards or to be taken deep into the castle in Crushbone throne room and to have the charmer break charm, etc.

The last time I remember someone being able to charm other players was when
my druid was old enough to self gate (there fore somewhere around 19-24) and that would have been around November '99

I remember this because a bard friend of mine was being charmed by the guildleader of Darkenbane (aka Dorkenbane) Kerrygetz in North Karana.
I didn't know she was being charmed but when I came upon her she was fighting a griffawn/griffenne and was dying.
Jumping to her aide I began to heal her. I noticed a DE hanging out watching her, so I thought he was in a group. When I started healing her he took off and ran to East Karana. I thought that odd. When she had killed the bird (or during the process of it) she told me that he had charmed her and was using her to kill the bird, most likely with the intention of letting it beat her down then mezzing it, breaking charm, killing her, then killing the bird and that my healing had interferred with this process.
I hunted him to no avail so I probably didn't have track by then and was only level 19
