Do you think it’s possible you experienced this because enchanters (just like everyone else in 1999) didn’t fully understand the mechanics like we do today?

Most people were likely:
Not maxing charisma (OP said they were but he wasn’t an enchanter)
Charming too high of levels mobs
Were not focusing or -mr spells and gear

If you skip any of those on p99 you’re going to have a bad time.

There is strong truth to this. Unless you had someone take you under their wing or you decided to visit castersrealm.com, you learned your class through trial and error. I remember having to check Allakazam for the list my spells as well learning what they did.

We have 10+ pages of people saying "it's the -MR and Cha gear" ... and yet when it comes to Druids it's crickets.

because it basically sucked

i played live from 1999 to 2005

i was crazy its the only thing i did

i know

charm should last 30 seconds at best most of the time even at 255 charisma until pop

I agree... and the interruption mechanics on p99 are way off making it even easier... you can land stuff while getting smashed by a mob very easily on 99.... that never happened on live.... I couldn’t even get a root off if i was being hit back then

if charm resisted more intitially and on re-charm even with tash so it took 2-3 casts like a base 100 MR penalty to charm i'd feel better even tho its not coded on the live spell data, it probaly was hardcoded in the client or back end server side for a base 50% chance resist lol on initial charm (not charm break)

It's true charm was not a thing in era. That said, it should have been and I consider the current setup to be more appropriate.
