My memories of Classic/Kunark/Velious are too foggy (and I was too casual) to say how much people did or didn't use charm, but I know it was used extensively during Luclin/PoP, and I'm not aware of any changes to the fundamental mechanic between those two time periods. And I'm obviously not talking about Dire Charm.
I played an enchanter from Luclin and through PoP and a bit of GoD, and my recollection is that charm worked more or less the way it does here. It's just that people hadn't been playing MMORPGs for twenty years at the time, nor did we have Gina audio triggers to announce mez breaks so you can react instantaneously, etc.
