I had never played EQ before p99 and I learned the hard way.

Then Nybras showed me the end game ropes.
Are you the average though?

or are you in the .1% of players.

But there were players successfully utilizing charm back then. It was just much riskier than on P1999 (especially with worse hardware and internet) and therefore wasn't nearly as common as it is here, and that isn't just due to the knowledge gap. Charming here already requires a lot of attention and care, and on the live servers it probably felt like walking on a knife's edge the whole time, with very frequent charm breaks that were difficult to recover from, making the process dangerous and inefficient unless you were very skilled and attentive. That being the case, it would be far easier and preferable for most Enchanters to just group for XP, which most of them obviously did as we all remember.
Yeah this pretty much is what i think. I mean lets not forget I and many were playing full screen UI, my PC was not a gaming pc, so framerate was always an issue in fullscreen.

I aint gonna be stunning and charming anything, my gear was trash too and I thought I was pretty good at eq [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
