>The murky water area where we swim in has spawned bandits on me twice now. Since I am open handed swimming, and cannot attack back, or cast in the water.

>I will assume this is a bug:)

I would guess not. They spawn on Gyldemar Road, and Gyldemar Road goes to the barrier. Just the same, Whistler's Pass goes most the way to Zul.

You might circumvent this by not swimming open-handed. It's not required for that swim. Use ";go2 10815" and that'll take you to the west edge of the water and stop -- you can swim manually at that point.

You can also use the LOCATION verb to confirm which region you're technically in.

Correct, you drop what you're holding if you die swimming.

Oh, you're being attacked inside the murky water. Then yes, I would agree that snorkeling pirate bandits are a bug.

Still, swim with your gear out until they fix it. You're a ranger -- you won't die (if you do, you only need to search the muck to retrieve your gear).

Since when have I ever cared about "others"? It's all about that bass. Duh.
