Provide actual data mining/disassembly or posts/patch notes from EQ staff or shut up about it already. Old player posts mean nothing especially considering how little anyone knew about anything back then. For every player post saying one thing, you can find an old player post saying the exact opposite.

I already linked to the bug report of the disassembled client showing channeling is wrong. Everyone knows channeling is wrong here. You don't get a 50%+ chance to cast a spell when being hit at level 1. Anyone arguing against this is an obvious crybaby who wants non-classic easy mode mechanics. Go play WoW. EQ casters had difficulty casting when being hit. Deal with it.
Find me an old player post from classic era talking about how useful charm is and how great it is for soloing. Anything about charming planar mobs. Anything about using a charmed pet to tank dragons and get first kill.
I mean, what a joke, P99 Naggy is first killed with a charmed mob almost every time by a small group of players and we're supposed to believe EQ live would have allowed this or anything close to it? Oh well, I guess the players outsmarted us, let's give them their loot. This is Brad "The Vision" McQuaid who nerfed DOTs on running mobs because players figured out kiting and he didn't like it.
Anyone who tries to claim Brad and Verant would allow a charmed sonic bat to tank Nagafen for ~20 players to get a first kill on the server is a total fucking idiot. They would have shut down the server mid kill and nerfed charm into the stone age right on the spot. They would have told the players involved to go fuck themselves and maybe even suspended them for abusing mechanics.
