While some specifics regarding my inability to grok dates has been addressed, there is still the matter of hybrid mana pools being drastically lower than full casters, and attack swing timers resetting after a spell is cast or interrupted.
More deets here:

Hybrid mana pools were originally based on (level - 8) AND some spells had increased costs ~ +25% to +50% (pet summons and lifetaps for SKs come to mind, as do cleric buffs for paladins) (amounts never documented publicly to my knowledge). A couple yaulps would drain a paladins mana pool, L9 troll SKs could not summon a pet. The removal of the gimped manapool was the first big hybrid buff, it happened not too long after I got spells on my original paladin (I started playing in July of '99, so probably was August or maybe September). Not sure when they removed the mana cost penalties but think it was later.
Another minor bit:
The Druid buff Skin Like Wood did not originally have a +hp heal effect (it increased max but not current hp). This was changed prior to the existence of the Lucy parse of the spdat (so ?Kunark?Velious?) when all the Skin Like buffs had their hp/ac values changed (pretty sure they all lost some ac and gained a little hp.)
