From 2000, dude talks about enchanters charming in hate. Enchanters have always charmed in eq.

No one is saying "Enchanters never charmed in classic." Obviously they had the spell, and some did use it some of the time. But what everyone who played in classic knows is that charming here isn't like it was on live: it is vastly more common here.

Instead of a few brave Enchanters using risky techniques on dangerous raids ... with multiple healers around to keep them alive (ie. Classic) ... we have a huge percentage of Enchanters here soloing their way to 60, and then soloing great loot camps, with virtually zero risk (ie. not Classic). And we also have Druids, who were were root/rot and quad soloers on live, charming here because it's the most efficient XP method (again, not Classic).

And there is lots of evidence to back this up! I'm not talking obscure news group posts, I'm talking literally "one click away from the front page of Caster's Realm". What we don't have is any evidence that charm was as easy, safe, and powerful back in Classic ... because no such evidence exists.
