But yeah like many have said, I might be remembering wrong as well.

I charmed a lot, so might be confusing it with charmed pet. As did my chanter friend just for those that said chanters didn't charm in that era. I would always solo Frenzy and he would solo Magi.

Feign Death never caused a summoned pet to insta-poof. In 2000 they changed it so that a summoned pet would die if you remained in FD for 2 minutes - https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=147403. Something else that's unclassic about p99 is your pet is supposed to get aggro while you are Feigned.

Enchanters charmed back then, but not like they do now. It broke more frequently and was mainly used as a way to throw an NPC into another NPC for a quick fight, not keeping it as a perma pet. Even just for quick fights, Charm was breaking very often if you weren't many levels higher than the NPC. This could be seen across the entire game world when Enchanters were trying to exp on city guards by throwing them into each other: generally they needed to re-cast Charm at least once during that single fight.
