I didn't see a patch that specifically mentioned moving the gild tag down, but it likely was this "overhaul names" one (which is well outside the classic era):

no parameter = display the current setting.
off = don't show player names over their heads
1 = show only first names of players
2 = show First and Last Name
3 = show First, Last, and Guild (if any)
4 = show Title (if any), First, Last, and Guild (if any)
Also, the LFG, AFK and LD tags will always show if names are not off.
There will no longer be brackets around them, and LFG will now appear
at the end of the name with the AFK and LD tags (instead of being a *
at the beginning)
- A player character will always have a name over its head, even if
they are skeletons (unless /shownames is off), with the exception of
some rare cases when players are turned into certain NPCs

If you can find evidence that it happened sooner though you should file a bug with that evidence.
