Nerfed Edit Meaning

The term "nerfing" comes from the online gaming world of Ultima Online.

From then on, if ever something gets made less worth while than it had been originally, it is considered 'nerfed'

"Oh man, they reduced the dmgon the berserker class and now it's totally nerfed!"

"Damn, the Devs nerfed those axe's real good!"
