Be careful what you wish for...

I am fairly certain melee were limited to certain areas they could bind. I know there were some areas outside of cities that did get marked as bindable for melee, but most of the time it was limited to city areas.

Melees were restricted to being bound in city zones. There were a select few locations where they could also bind, such as the South Ro gypsy camp, but they otherwise had to stick to cities. It worked that way for everybody, other players could bind you only in cities, but once you were able to cast Bind Affinity yourself you could bind pretty much anywhere. Melees could as well if they got that one ring that had a charge of Bind Affinity, but it was prohibitively rare and may or may not have been classic.

I don't remember it working that way. I know you could bind in qeynos hills and great divide. I also bound in the gypsy camp in north karana, but I get this feeling that wasn't the only place you could bind.

Hmm, well just looked on net and a lot of resource sites are saying that if you cast bind on someone else you're limited to doing this in city zones and a few rare zones (like highpass). Funny that I could play so long, off and on for 10 years, and not notice this. I wonder if there're any zones or places where a melee could bind that noeone to this day knows about?

I think it's sad that EQ never developed its bind system and/or expanded on it. I think the luclin spires and pok books were uninspired and don't incite the same kind of self-confidence that player-run traveling does.

Did you know that on Firiona Vie all players were restricted to binding where melee's could bind:

Bind Affinity will be restricted for all characters to locations where melee characters can bind on other servers.

So sad, I say. Such a pity.
