Perhaps this is an old bug or a known bug and I just didn't know about it. But I searched for it and didn't see anything, so here it is.

I see a chant game with a guy who's tried to PK me in the past (this is hardcore)... I join to warn the others. When I get in there, I'm standing by the town gates, INSIDE THEM, and i die (level 13 assassin, hardcore, uswest)

Notice the three corpses clearly within the town limits. He did it to other people as well.

He was a sorc with an act1 merc...it looked like he had a friend who was a druid, who was hostiled and would cast spirit right outisde the gate... then the guy's merc would shoot at the spirit, but the druid would re-cast the spirit so the arrow didn't hit it, and the arrows instead went into town and killed people.

Here's a shot with the sorc, merc, druid, spirit. Notice the arrows flying within town limits.

This is a crappy bug. :( It's hard enough not to get tppked when outside of town...

Yea, it's slightly annoying. I've heard of several variants, but it looks to still be used quite abit. I guess ultimately it's not too difficult to avoid though, not that it does much good to tell you this now, but at least you'll be prepared for next time :undecided:

Once I was zealing around (torch on) and by mistake I entered town portal I have opened previously. The funny part is that firestorm triggered at that very moment and flames rushed in the rogue encampement. I don't know if hostile players could get hurt.
