I subscribed and un-subscribed to EQ multiple times throughout the years. As such, my memory of specific nerf/un-nerf timeframes sometimes gets a little hazy. I do recall LOH refreshing on death for the most part.
I do know this with absolute certainty: During summer 2001, LOH would not refresh upon death on PvP servers, but did refresh upon death on "blue" servers. That was the only timeframe when I played on both server types concurrently and the distinction in LOH functionality was important to a Paladin. While 2001 wasn't 1999, it's important because of the reality that LH did not work the same on all servers (confirming a comment another poster made above).
I've not bug reported this issue, however, because it's strictly correct in that it did work in the currently implemented manner on some servers. We have a choice here between two equally valid methods of implementation. I see it more as a choice than a 'bug'. Therefore I do not request such a change (though it'd benefit me since I'm a Paladin).
