Enchanter charm isn't classic, we all know this

While I believe they mostly did a good job of balancing, they are only human and clearly made mistakes (and still do today), such as this one. Also the most prominent difference here is that... they were balancing Live, not P99. P99 doesn't have the same data as Live and we have no way of figuring out exactly what numerical values and formulas were set for everything on Live. Basically its a fuck ton harder to balance things on P99 than Live because so many values have to be guessed rather than already known.

Community discussion and debate has been causing changes in MMOs since they began, and that's not gonna stop today or tomorrow. Developing an MMO is a huge undertaking and devs have been relying on players to assist with balancing, changes, and feedback since the start, and Everquest was developed in this manner as well.

And that’s where you’re wrong. This is a museum (or a museum to the extent possible) not an mmo brah

Imagine being this angry about Everquest in 2019. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do think he raises a point I haven’t thought about before. You crusade against a lot of things and I do think it’s somewhat funny you won’t tell anyone who you are in game

I played a chanter back in '99 into the 20's. Charm was so unreliable back then that I never put a second thought into it and groups never expected it - AT ALL.

I'm of this opinion as well. I dont remember Chanters charming until Velious (and moreso Luclin and POP)

I also remember certain mobs (Ghouls specifically) always being HIGHLY resistant to everything magic-based

Well that settles it everyone! He remembers! Why didn’t you say so earlier? You could’ve saved us 60 pages of thread and the staff could’ve fixed things right away.

People who remember stuff being resisted all the time probably simply were low level back then.

When you're a level 20 druid or some shit, yeah, your snare will be resisted a lot by level 17-19 mobs, on P99 or live.

Try doing CC on P99 at, say, MM CE camp when you're a level 28-29 enc, you'll get constantly resisted by blue mobs.

Anyway, this thread can probably be left to peacefully die now.

Oh thats right it did. How does it work on P99?

On Live classic Enchanter nuke was all or nothing and that is why it resisted so often. While other DDs might nuke for a few less damage in that case Enc nuke was full resist. Is that how it works here?

Source for your statistics? It's such a nice round number, I think possibly it's just a guess.
