I am ashamed to admit I played a druid in 1999 / 2000 as a young kiddo and did not know druids could charm until I played on P99 nearly 15 years later.

See Loramin.

We don’t have YouTube and the wiki in 1999.

I’ve said it like 1 million times the only reason anyone who’s commenting here even knows how to charm is because they watched a YouTube video teaching them how to and if it wasn’t for YouTube or the wiki everyone on this thread would still be wondering how tecmos does it.

We have the AoW kill, reminder once again that this entire narrative is in ruins.

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.

There's a lot of provenly custom here even by your own admissions.

Charm is totally broken on EMU like many other things without a client from 1999. Just admit it and move on.

I don't think charms a big issue to the devs their OK with it im sure as long as the values for the spell data is era correct, in example cast time, mana cost, MR adjust, tick duration.. etc.

Anyway. I think it should be more random. Less consistent. That with clothy ac/mitigation being less effective and channeling harder would be great!

But don't kid yourselves that you are some kinda OG uber raiders cuz u found a museum with exhibits under construction to LARP in.

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.

I am not upset enchanters are killing big boss mobs. It's just ridiculously easy compared to reality in 1999.

Gives me a chuckle when yall deny it and post brags about how God u r and how its perfect and how u would actually quit or be upset over actuall pixels being realistically like classically a little bit riskier.

A solid half the chanters on this box are delirious.
