IMO, the major change (due to mechanics but also to
new sources like Greg's online excellent The World is
Made of Everything stuff) is in mythic depth. Now we
understand (more) why the various magical systems are
separated, why they conflict, how to do heroquesting
and how often, how to mix magics. Maybe all of this
has always been in Greg's mind or in others' demigods,
but I'm certain it never crossed the Atlantic Ocean or
the Pacific the other way around to reach Italy before
herowars publication in 2000.
A lot of old Glorantha was mechanics-driven or
mechanics-influenced. Now it is almost perfectly
blended between mechanics and background. And
Back-background. And Uber-background. And...
