sony's official patch history. If you just delete the 20010221a.html part it lets you search the rest.
Superior Healing moved to level 51 for shamans and druids.
*Donal's Breastplate can now only be used on any individual target once every 7.5 minutes. This addresses some of the balance issues that became apparent given the existence of a mana-free complete heal
Yes around Dec 99. The older patch notes from 99 don't give as much info. They don't say when poh and poa opened etc. The 2000 and later notes give much more info. The Devs have a list of the major changes on a timeline up through velious in another thread buried in this forum.
lol to Uuaellaen. Thanks! I'm just an extreme fan of classic Everquest. My wife and I talked about how great it would be to play the best game ever made again in all it's glory. Randomly for years we talked about the times we had in game. We have sooo many fond memories. You could say I'm a Huge eq nerd, and I would agree.
