If it was as easy to charm on live as your memories suggest ... then why didn't Enchanters (or Druids, or Necros) do it a lot? Again, anyone who played on live '99-'01 remembers Enchanters mostly grouping, and Druids mostly root/rotting. And this is supported by evidence: you can find like 20 root/rotting Druid guides for every one charming guide on the Wayback machine.

I'm NOT saying "Enchanters/Druids/etc. never charmed on live": people did charm on live! But ... they didn't do it at all how people do it here, and again that's a fact, not an opinion. So why not?

Are you saying "all of those 30x or more live players were idiots who couldn't figure out how to use their spells?" That's one answer people give. Another is "their internet connections were worse" (which might explain it being a bit less popular ... but not 20 guides to 1 guide unpopular).

So what's your explanation for why every class on our emulator plays the same basic way as it did on live, except the charming ones, if our emulator truly does match live?
