Found lots of old patch messages at this Japanese site:
http://web.archive.org/web/20001006161625/http://www3.jcss.net/~rpg/eqi/news/old.htm
Which I've added to the wiki patch history (there are more from early phases of beta that I have yet to add):

Anyway, the patch to add Ranger and Rogue crits on throws and bows was on August 31st, 1999, so they shouldn't get crits before then.
(These patches are auto-translated from Japanese, see the source for perhaps a better translation if you can read Japanese...)
August 31, 1999
This server-side patch includes the following:
Ranger can now make a critical hit with Bow.
Rogue can now make critical hits with Thrown weapons.
Ranger's Parry and Dodge skill limits increased.
Fixed a DoT bug related to missing experience points and corpses disappearing.
New PvP rule: You can no longer route weapons in Primary, Secondary, and Ranged slots from killed opp
