1.) Charm during the first year+ of EQ was just used to Charm an NPC and throw it into another so they fight each other. It was Velious era when Enchanters were starting to Charm more long term, but that wasn't totally common, still something that braver Enchanters were doing rather than being the norm.

2.) Regardless of what the exact Charm mechanics were back then, it absolutely would have been nerfed if people back then were using it has they have been on p99.

Agreed ... although I do think all classes were experimenting with all their spells from day one, because no one knew any better. I remember wasting lots of time experimenting with the Shaman Rain line of spells, for instance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So I don't think it's that no one tried charming: they totally did! And some surely tried (say) charming in groups. The reason you didn't see Enchanters charming in group in classic wasn't that no one thought to try ... it's that they did try, and it was too risky, so they stopped doing it.
