I thought a bit of this, but I can't really recall any change. In fact this is a problem, since good old +DEF cards are worthless in the renewal DEF system. They remained the same +1 +2 +X, but in renewal that is nearly nothing... So I think the cards themselves remained the same, but the calculations behind them might have changed. For example +atk, +def, +aspd cards don't give the same overall bonuses, even if the script remained the same.

Well what you could do is:

1. Download eAthena RC5: http://rathena.org/board/topic/61283-old-old-version-ro/

2. Get the item_db from it.

3. Then get the item_db from current rAthena.

4. Delete all rows except for cards that appear in both versions.

5. Open both with spreadsheet program.

6. Delete all columns except item ID and script (to avoid difference just from column changes).

7. Save both files.

8. Use a comparison tool like SVN Diff to compare both files.

Now you can see what has changed in the script since 2004. :-)

Notepad++'s compare tool is a good one as well.
