Particle colours are out of whack as well... "back in the day" a Lvl 1 casting shield type spells (Skin Like Wood, Minor Shielding etc) would just be casting green.
At 24 (iirc) this would go up to green/(yellow/orange).
At 39 (iirc) this would go up to green/(yellow/orange)/blue.
You could always tell the pro players buffing people in Greater Faydark by some of their spell particles.
Not limited to shields either, extra strands of particles seemed to be added to the slow/tashan effects and the intensity of nuke effects. The shields I'm 100% on, the others...were they definitely pre-Kunark or added later?

I remember this too. The lower level spells all had effects with less particle colors and "flash" than the higher level spells. I really don't remember what levels the changes were...but I definitely remember the particle effects changing as I leveled and being impressed when I got new spell effects. It was another motivator to level and a little bit of eye candy to impress others.
