Kelin's Lucid Lullaby, 15 bard

Using this song in game, it is a single target mezz. Looking on EQDiva on wayback machine, looking at the original song list, I notice that this was originally an AoE max 4 target mezz.

And was later changed to a single target mezz, as it is today in live.

I hope I'm posting this in the correct section.

When was it changed I wonder?

Here's the REAL story of the former AE mez...

In beta it was super overpowered. It could lock down an entire zone. This caused all bard mez songs to have a second resist check added. Essentially, the song could land but not affect the creature. This led to the supremacy of Enchanters in crowd controlling (and monks in pulling, as a bard's only tool for controlling a lull failure was removed).

Bards complained bitterly about this state of affairs, while Verant denied there was any problem. This came to a head in a famous (among bards at least) episode where a dev came to watch a demonstration in the Qeynos newbie yard as a high level bard attempted to mez the level 1 snakes, only to have a near 100% resist rate.

Eventually the second resist check was removed, and this song changed to single target.

As classic as boat travel and meeting at first torch in EC for trades.

Is that confirmed by anyone else? I learned long ago not to trust anything an allakhazam poster had to say. Note the very next post says it was changed at Luclin.
