Patch history:
JULY 20, 2000
/Consent no longer gives other players permission to loot your corpse. Instead, it only gives them the ability to drag your corpse using the /corpse command. This change is due to player request stemming from number of customer service issues raised by some players who were using /consent as a way to steal the belongings of other players. The change will eliminate those concerns and make the game more enjoyable for all of those involved.

Where is this from? I know they released patch notes at the time but who curated and stored them for view today? Maybe it's just wrong? July 1999 would make way more sense.
They went out of their way to make pvp consensual specifically because people complained about the full open loot in ultima online so much, who was their only competitor at the time. People were stealing other people's shit using /consent on day 1, seems like it would have been a major complaint immediately.
If it was really over a year then wow that's not what I remember at all.
