I don't remember guards killing with the lightning until uor. I know it's not a top priority, but just wanted to let you know these guards kill way to fast. If I remember correctly you could even get away from them sometimes during t2a.

You are correct that they should not have a lightning bolt effect, however insta kill on guard call was a part of T2A. Insta kill was removed temporarily during UO:R, but quickly reinstated.
I'll take another look at how easy it would be to make guards use their halberds instead of using the lightning bolt. The main concern is that we don't want bugged guards, so I have to make sure it works 100% of the time. I did play around with it before, but it was a bit buggy and not a priority so I shelved it for the time.

it was possible to outrun the guards in towns like vesper if you were quick enough and on the ball.
that was rather fun back in the day.
