This is what I remember as well. And really, if you think about it, if you made charm unreliable you'd take the Enchanter from being the godlike class it is now to being simply a powerful and indispensable grouping class that provides buffs, CC and a weak pet. Which actually sounds like a balanced class compared to the Enchanter class on P1999 that can do all those things in addition to having a monster DPS and tank pet. I just remember Enchanters being desired for their CC and buffs back in the day, I don't remember much charming at all. I can't imagine that people wouldn't have figured out how to abuse charm back then if it stuck as well as it does here, which makes me believe that charm definitely was much more unreliable back then.
Charming was always OP. Fewer ppl did it back on live because the prevailing popular play strats were to be safe and conservative. There are many many many more people on p99 that are risk takers than there were on live.
