Nah, I am very sure the "difficulty rating" on character creation screen for your chosen Race/Class/Deity combination was there in 1999. I remember my Barbarian Shaman being listed as "medium" difficulty, and I remember making a Necromancer in 2000 and laughing at how it was listed as a "high" difficulty character. I found a thread here on the forum talking about it -
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...light=creation (someone has a link that shows all the character creation prompts and, yep, Barbarian Shaman is listed as medium difficulty, Shadowknight is always given a high difficulty rating, and Warriors who pick an evil race get a medium difficulty rating)

I remember buying that cardboard box for EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark....I probably should have paid notice to the warning of high difficulty for the Iksar, I just liked lizards.
