I am 100% certain that Rabies stopped standing hp regen for low level non-troll player characters, a 1 hp/tick DoT will do that to you. I cannot recollect whether I ever sat down to regen HP with rabies on a character on live and I didn't play any troll characters back then, so I cannot speak directly to either of those but I am doubtful. Again, I heard the claim, but I never saw it proven.

Hell most of us didn't often sit down to regen hp without rabies on live. 20 hp / minute was pretty much too pathetic to bother with after about level four when you couldn't take six steps in a good race newbie/lowbie zone without tripping over 5 druids, 3 rangers, a cleric and a paladin. Most players just kept looking for a cure disease until they found one or they were killed.

Keep in mind that it was quite a few months past release before it was well established that Flame Lick actually did 3 hp/tick, many players remained convinced for a very long time that it did zero or one per tick. Half the mystery of low level spell mechanics in the months after release on live was due to server lag & display latency.
