Look at this guy's full sized brain, nothing like those morons in 1999

I was one of the morons in '99. Everyone was running around roleplaying, fishing and dying. It was the closest thing to "Brad's Vision" of a 3D MUD before it slowly turned into "levels and loot - fuck the rest". Were you?

Fires of Heaven were the elite on my server (Veeshan) and they weren't charm soloing. If you want you can go ask them.

I think the point people are making is there are plenty of actual and logical reasons for why people weren't charm soloing as rampantly (although people were doing it just not as much as they are today). Mainly due to simple knowledge/lack of awareness of it's power/lack of awareness of how Charm works (e.g. CHA, MR, and mob level difference all being the saving rolls (the last one being the huge difference maker as people used to want Enchs to charm the highest level pet possible and had no idea that level difference affected Charm break chance)), as well as technical limitations with both the Internet and peoples' computers, etc.

That doesn't mean there's anything broken with Charm on P99.

It's like saying that because people didn't farm X item nonstop on live, or because people didn't camp Y spot for exp all the time on live, that there must be something incorrect/non-classic about the item/camp on P99. It's a totally snonsensical and BS argument lol.

It really comes down to date of birth at this point.

Unless some people here were very precocious toddlers, they did not play classic live. No way everyone here is old enough. Period. It's 2021.

Moving up, some lucky teens had good intraweb, but otherwise today at the very least you already feel the grim cold hand of 40 clutching at your balls. Happy fuckin Mondays!

And even those individuals, frankly, they usually didn't raid enough because they were getting laid. The people in their youth never played friday nights.

30 year old engineers wasting away in sorrow and gin. There's your MT.

And I was an enchanter. And I would have been booted from most serious groups if I tried to charm.

you would only have to be like 30-40 to have been 10-20 years old back during live

do you think there is no one in their 30s on p99?

Man, you are really bad at math: I'm not even 40 yet, and I played during the classic period ... not when I was a toddler ... but when I was in college.
