No sever could make T21s in August of 2003 for their to be a prenerf T21.
First profession to be demanded nerfed: Creature Handler
First skill demanded nerfed: Eyeshot.
Yeah, that thing had people calling for nerfs on it even before they were getting spam KD. Teh cries for nerf slowly died as people figured out that wearing armor went a long way in lowering the power of the eyeshot.

Crafters were nerfed the most right off, there used to be a 25% xp bonus for practice mode, that got reduced to 5% in July 2003, shortly thereafter the xp from factory runs went away too.
But to find the very first nerf, Berserk used to do double damage, so melee got the first nerf of them all (august 12, 2003)
Then rifles got nailed, so rifleman was the first ranged nerf.
Although I remember the berserk nerf first hand, my source is here:

it's fun to look at how much the game has changed. But I mostly get a kick out of the first 6 months...
Biggest nerf I felt, other than the crafting nerf, was the fencer bleed nerf. I think we got that shortly after our holiday holocron bonanza...
are you sure aug03 was first nerf? I seem to remember eye shot getting nerfed in latejuly 03.

the t-21's that you could loot in Erin Sif had 5000-10,000+ max damage by accident, but they were never "pre-nerf" they removed them completely from the game.

i can't find it on that list, but I was around BH 0444 in october 2003, around when i signed up for the forums and all i used was eye shot, so i don't think it got hit that early, or it got hit harder with the doc/cm nerf in november 2003.

exactly. The one rare resource needed to make them was not spawning on most severs for a very long time. Remember back when the resource spawn timers resutled in resources being frozen in place for a couple months. Wow, that was bad.

Heck, we were just getting Laser rifles on Radiant in August because of that bug.

well you're right that I misread the title, but did you ever fight a fencer back then who used berserk? I was called a hacker on several occasions before it got nerfed.

This post is about Nerf calls, not what got nerfed first. No one was out demanding that berzerk get nerfed. Nor where crafters calling for a nerf on XP or rifleman dmg.

Eye shot was one fo the first Nerf calls, but I don't beelive it ever actually got berfed. I think people just started figuring out that comp helmets worked against them so the need for nerfing dropped. It si still certainly one of the first nerf calls though.

i don't remember not being able to get a t-21, but i do remember not being able to get a light lightning cannon for a long time and then looting one in some odd cave, I really can't recall which, and it had like max damage of 250 and I thought it was great lol. I also remember buying my seeker and arakyd driods from the BH terminals cause there weren't any driodsmiths to make them yet...

Underhand Shot. It was a ranged knockdown and the first little nerf baby that got knocked down in PvP ran screaming to the forums as fast as they could without losing their diaper.

Yeah, I remember all that as well. The manufactured ones were like 140 dmg max back then lol. To think I actually leveled the LLC line with that thing.
