Live needed snare a lot more than p99 ever has. To the point that necro/sk snare was often viewed as not good enough. Why?
1) Root worked too well here
2) For a long time some mobs that ran on live didn't run here (LGuk ghouls, for instance)
3) Root worked WAY too reliably here
4) Agro here is much less crazy than live (mobs already agro'd here don't proximity agro as they did on live is the hugest most glaring difference)
5) Root here was awesome, root on live was "shit, hope root holds"
6) Most chars here are way overgeared for the era

Even worse here for druids than rangers, because ON LIVE EVAC WAS VALUABLE AND USED EVEN IN GROUPS OF SKILLED PLAYERS WITH A COMPETENT ENCHANTER OR SKILLED BARD IN THE PARTY. Sorry about the shouting, but really, a lot of the dungeon gameplay here is nothing to the excitement of dungeon gameplay on live. Yes, when live LGuk was carpeted end-to-end with campers for that last 8 weeks or so before Kunark released it was pretty tame. Outside of that brief period tho, I can't recall live gameplay being nearly as tame as it usually is here...
