They absolutely knew! This whole "live people were dumb" thing only applies to obscure knowledge; in everything else Live players were not dumb.

Charisma was even mentioned in an old post I was looking at today (although I closed the tab so I can't quote it). They were talking about how there was a soft cap at 200 Charisma, and it didn't appear to help much beyond that, but (apparently) Charisma up to 200 made a big difference for charm resists on live.

I could go find the post, but what would be even better is if you and other curious folks looked for yourself using Dolalin's incredible classic research search engine: https://search.eqarchives.org/

That way it won't be just me shouting into the wind, and the classic posts can speak for themselves.
