I never trained alchemy on my live shaman, so I know I wasn't using a potion. Once again though, no idea on the specific date range other than between 99 and 2001 when I quit
This actually sounded vaguely classic, so I went looking for evidence. I found a forum post titled "Shrink Nerf" from 4/25/00 on The Shaman's Crucible ... but sadly the post itself has been lost to time.

I don't know how else they could have nerfed shrink (I mean, they could have raised the mana cost or lowered the range or something, but why?) ... but still better evidence is likely needed to restore outdoor shrinking on Green 2.0.
