What the hell is this?!

CHARM / BEGUILE, By Nallatikie nomanna - xegony (1/28/2001)
As an answer to the person who wrote that the charm series is buggy. The reason your pet did not attack its intended target is because they will not commit blatent suicide. If you charm a green or a low blue and tell it to attack a red, it will not do so. It will act as you described. Good Luck to all of you out there, ours is a difficult job, especially when no one lets us perform it (they dont understand ae mez and /assist on the main tank) Nallatikie Nomanna

here is the described behaviour of the unsuicidal charm pet:

VERY BUGGY?, By Harach (1/28/2001)

A lot of times I charm (or beguile) a monster or whatever, and then tell him to attack another - He'll run back and forth, not doing anything. Once the monster I told to attack dies from something else, it will come back to its senses and come back to me. Charm may be bugged in dungeons and similar places. I mean, if I mess around with it in the Qeynos newbie area, it works fine. Most other places it messes up, though.

Really enjoyed digging this up. Don't remember it at all from live, but it gave me a laugh! I don't think it works like this here?
