Assuming it could have been this patch here:

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20011008.html

Summary of Melee Changes:
Two-Handed Weapons have been given an increased damage bonus for characters over level 50. Also, certain post-epic quality two-handers have been improved.
Warriors have had their taunt skill cap increased to 230 at 60th level. Also, the Blades of Strategy and Tactics can now be used in either hand.

also, taking a look at those links, i think its proof that this item needs to be changed.

Before -- 40/35 10str 10agi wt 5.0

This weapon has been upgraded in the recent class tuning patch(big patch with resist and 2hb/2hs changes). Stats are now:

42damage
35delay
+10 STR and STA
5.0 Weight

Damage bonus is 20 at level 60.

Yeah nerf this cus i dont have one, nerf it its not classic. NERF

[kanras]

Fixed both, pending update.

Speaking as a warrior who currently has one of these weapons, and who currently has a huge PVP advantage over those who do not, if the fix is not able to be patched in before the BoTB the Blackstone Maul should in my opinion be prohibited from the competition.

A 51/53 2HB is too much of an advantage, if it's been clearly shown that the weapon shouldn't be in that state at our present position on the timeline.
