it might have been luclin, but the first time i met an enchanter charming regularly was on bot and in plane of storms on the frogs

then in LDON

otherwise it really wasn't a think, except at low lvl in kunark in grps and the charms never lasted more than 2 pulls.

I vividly remember charm being too unreliable to use, and people raging at enchanters for trying to use it in our groups. This is also why everyone fawned over the Magician pet. Nothing came close to it... P99 is not classic at all when it comes to charm...

Do you think it’s possible you experienced this because enchanters (just like everyone else in 1999) didn’t fully understand the mechanics like we do today?

Most people were likely:
Not maxing charisma (OP said they were but he wasn’t an enchanter)
Charming too high of levels mobs
Were not focusing or -mr spells and gear

If you skip any of those on p99 you’re going to have a bad time.
