The biggest difference in PvP I noticed was spell damage, I didn't notice anything at all with spell casting times (excluding delays). The difference in spell casting time from one formula to the other is 1.25s for casting a 6th level spell. That almost doubles the casting time, and would not only be noticeable, but wouldn't feel like the same game at all.
Well, I noticed a tremendous change from OSI UO:R pvp vs. RunUO UO:R pvp. I was one of the top duelers in UO:R so maybe it was a little easier for me to notice then other people. You are right. It didn't feel like the same game at all, at least to me and others in my guild at the time.
Pretty sure we were all "top pvpers" back then, I also spent countless hours duelling/fielding. I think more people would remember the spell casting times being dramatically different, if ebolt cast nearly twice as fast on UOSA as it did on OSI.
