Most of us were never around geared enchanters despite being in guilds that had NToV on ez farm... And almost all of us remember enchanters on our servers doing something really cool with charm, but like charming giants in Kael, it was a massive feat and a large effort. Charm was not reliable. Did people do cool stuff with it? Of course. But no one was just rolling around solo charming 1-60 in 2 days. When I first came to P99 and duod with Klide all the way to 50 and charm would break I would be like “well, time to let that one die” because this was always the case 20 years ago. I did actually have a lot of experience with charm 20 years ago, and knew it could be powerful, but it was established that once charm broke a mob was basically uncharmable, and this is why groups didn’t like using it. It was a super high risk, high reward ability. Now it’s super low risk, super high reward ability. If they want to make a better classic server they should literally make a server where charm is nerfed. Whether you think it’s classic or not, it would make the way the game is played on that server more classic and balanced. I remember enchanter as the rare class who people always wanted for mez, haste and clarity. Not the dime a dozen god class. | |||

Dome's most elite XPing strategy was to quad Barbarians/Dwarves (not knowing this, when I later inherited his account, I would get Dome killed several times by visiting Butcherblock/Everfrost [You must be logged in to view images.

It wasn't because he didn't know how to play his character, and it certainly wasn't his Internet connection, because like many in Club Fu he played from a gaming center with a T1. So, he had a good connection, he was in the most powerful and knowledgeable guild on the server, and yet he completely eschewed animal charming (which every Druid here will happily tell you is an amazing way to get XP) ... why? I submit that it's not because charming didn't exist: as you noted Fu absolutely charmed. I'd also submit that it's not because he was a dummy or had a bad connection. The most logical explanation I can see is that, it was because charming wasn't as safe and as easy on live as it is here.

Also, when WoW classic launched a couple years ago, why didn’t we see massive player improvements? Shouldn’t we have expected to see players doing things they never did 17 years ago because obviously players 17 years ago were cavemen.
Yet we don’t. I wonder why... | ||

Here is a comment from Kunark era talking about using the Goblin Gazughi Ring to break charm.
So here you go, people were charming in Kunark. | ||

If you want some nostalgia, come here and get face wrecked by 140 damage triple attacks and stuns and intereupts x 3 mobs on a 1200 hp clothy where planar mobs resist, memblur/mez is classic, and charm is so agro, you kill the pets when they break. Blurr is certainly broken on atone. My cleric would not get blurs without 10-20 casts. Maybe make mobs remember all their agro/charms if they re-agro. Would make charm agro seem more normal... I don't see why some other group can't make a classic custom no boxing ez server with luclin/pop mechanics. For the kids here to go solo on. Anyway. I'm cool. Not gonna be upset if it never gets fixed. But I'm missing my nostalgia [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Honestly think only about 75 players on this project actually played in 99. Most of us are shaking our heads like huhhhh when we see ppl pulling at high lvl in zones higher than MM. High end MM should be a little bit harder too. Remember it's the journey and friends, not the MR and resistance checks and ability to farm 10kpp or make 60 lvl 60 alts on through away accounts. Imo if the right changes were made. Server pop would go up to 2k and yall would see a ton more melees running around. | ||||||||

Clicking GCD reset doesn't save u. Getting an aoe stun may buy u an AoE mez that might resist or allow you to gate. Brad Bless. <3 | |||

If you look at an MRI from an enchanter player in 1999 you'll see that their brain is about half as big as an enchanter player in 2021
