Was doing some spell research for paladin stuns today and came upon this about enchanters:

2002-07-24 09:28 Changed Slot 1 from "Mesmerize(2)" to "Mesmerize(2/56)"

Mesmerize and other Mez effects may have worked on higher level mobs at the time, especially with the evidence provided within this thread.

Also, I believe a change to stuns was around 6-11-2003 that made most stuns ineffective against ALL NPCs above level 55:

I believe the reason for this change is that 55+ mobs had blanket stun immunity. Obviously as level cap raised, and higher level trash mobs were added, it didn't make sense to effectively remove stun as a mechanic in the game. As such, in 2003, the 'old' stun spells were given an effective cap of 55, and new stuns were made to be effective to levels higher than 55 (with the blanket 55+ immunity being removed from most non dragon/giant mobs).
