Earliest source I've found so far is January 2001. I can't say yet that they were in at launch.

Do you guys remember the starting equipment you got when your character was new? The guild tunic, perhaps a candle, and a goatskin filled with milk?

You should, depending on your race also have a torch or candle, and everyone will start with 5 flasks of water and 5 muffins.
