Has "Often" always been pronounced with a silet "t" ?

0 I was having a discussion with a friend last night about the word often. I know that we should pronounce it as 'ofen' 01i00without02i00 pronouncing the 't', however I am wondering if it has always been pronounced like this or is this just another englih word that we have butchered over the years? 02br

00Can anyone offer any input here or better yet, link me to any official resources that discuss this?02br

00Thank you if you do!0-
