I started in 2008, there was no geolocation stuff on the client then, I do remember voice chat and the ability to switch an avatar off on your client if they were annoying, that and other stuff withered on the vine. Shame they didn't sort out the many and various bugs in the client before they they tried to develop new features, many of which are like the doctor who develops cures for which there are no known diseases. Bless thier delusional hearts.
