Not quite, since the term "endurance" wasn't in use yet. It was known simply as the stamina bar during the classic era. Yeah, that's a bit pedantic. Also, single-wielding modest-weight weapons wouldn't budge the stamina bar; it drained mainly from wielding heavy weapons (Wurmslayer!) or especially from dual wielding.

When P1999 first opened the developers tried to emulate the stamina drain from melee combat, but couldn't get it right on the Titanium client. The system was so excessively punishing that I remember having to receive multiple invigors per fight, at times, as a unhasted Paladin (can't dual wield) against single Wan Ghouls in lower guk. Silly! Eventually, and not for lack of trying, the developers here gave up and disabled the whole system until such a time as they figure out a way to make it work right.
