I don't buy the internet connection argument. As an EU player latency on p99 is anything but good and back in 2000 I and many others here did have broadband connections.
I think it's fairly obvious that all the ins- and outs of charming weren't known about then. To look at a contemporary example, look at WoW Classic how people play the game today and how people played original WoW.
Thus whether or not it happened in original EQ isn't a relevant point to make, clearly the p99-team is not trying to simulate the first time experience. You'd have to remake the entire game.
Now as I understand the argument for the mechanics being wrong is rather weak. but perhaps I'm wrong. What I DO want to know is IF they're planning on making any MAJOR class change like this is that the P99 devs communicate with the players so that you know, maybe someone doesn't spend their hard earned plat on a chanter and whatever free time they have to level it up only to end up with something they didn't wish to play.
