Evidence merchants should be immune to charm
I've seen a few complaints about players charming merchants, and a few responses to those complaints that nobody remembers merchants being charmed back in the day.
I have found a couple of pieces of evidence that support the argument that merchants should not be able to be charmed, certainly by Velious at the very least. The first piece of evidence I found was in the official patch notes: Quote:
I have found collaborating evidence which suggest it is not exclusively the Kael merchants which are uncharmable, indeed it is a broader restriction: Quote:
Individually these comments might be too circumstantial ("perhaps it was only Kael merchants that could not be charmed" and "the post is a year or so outside our timeframe"), but put together these quotes strongly suggest merchants should not be charmable at some point in our timeline, if not throughout. | ||||

Good one. Didn't know they could charm merchants on P99.
Some more evidence from the newsgroups: Quote:

I wouldn't pay much attention to the comment about Sro merchant either. At 35 his highest charm(beguile) can only charm up to level 37 mobs, so he's technically right it would be impossible for him to charm the level 40 dark elf merchants. | |||

Can anyone find in-era (<2002) evidence of a merchant being charmed?

You'd think there would be at least one reported incident of an enchanter having charmed a merchant somewhere if it were indeed classic. Quote:

I have checked Gadalion, Isslana, Cazel (thought someone might comment to charm a merch here - nope... though I did find a comment or two echoing something I believed in classic - disease dots should block mob regen
Like I said, if anyone can give a list of merchants that are obvious charm pets I'll sift through comments trying to find definitive evidence that merchants either could or could not be charmed. | ||

I found the tag "Allowed Targets: All" on Allakhazam's wayback machine :
For Allure And Cajoling Whispers These datas extracted with EQCaster, which are "decyphered directly from the EverQuest directory itself" : EQ Caster Faq Does that mean you can charm merchants, idk, it just say "all". | ||
