I was just recently killed by a monster in the safe zone. The area thats red just before you switch to a new one. This really needs to be fixes A.S.A.P, in my opinion. As a mage, I couldn't cast any spells in that area and had to run out before I could even cast Magic Ice to slow him down. Being attacked in that area means almost certain death for any Mage/Acolyte.

Aye this has happened to me a few times before, I was scared so ran to next area, I thought it wasn't that~ bad because most of the time it's okay (only happened once to me) but still confirming it ^^

It seems to happen a lot with those Giant Poyoyoyo~'s or whatever they are called. The pig things that can summon two smaller ones. I seem to have a major problem with them chasing me into the safe zone.

I can confirm this because it's happening to my group too.
I was on my way back (cause I died. X_X) to the area and my party members were sitting the safe zone/red area in the Bairyn Forest- and were attacked. :/ Dunno, I thought it was only just us. Guess not.

So far I have had a monster follow me into the safe zone but never one actually go into (aggro) the safe zone to attack me first. I also noticed that I could not special the monster while in the safe zone, only normal attacks:( I'm not complaining, maybe the game is meant to be that way, and I did avoid the whole being killed unpleasantness by running to the next zone.:p Maybe its to deter people from attacking a monster with specials while in the safe zone and getting an unfair advantage. And maybe the designers of the game wanted you to run for you life when monsters chase you.....:p Personally I think it just adds to the challenge, but I wouldn't mind it if they didn't chase you into safe zones....

please post stuff like this in the troubleshooting sectionwhy?
i'd consider this a bug seeing that you're being attacked by monsters in a safe zone,
where you're supposed to be safe from them.
troubleshooting =
when you're having troubles with the game and need help with it.
this doesn't seem to apply towards that category~
unless you were referring to lilkids7's comment~

That doesn't make sense to me personally. The Mages/Acolytes already only do, 2 damage melee (sp?), max. When in the safe zone, our skills get 'access denied'. We are pretty much sitting ducks. I was in the safe zone, low on life and sat down. Went to check the forums, came back dead to one of those giant pigs.

Those are supposed to be "safe zones"? I've always avoided them like the plague. @_@ Because whenever I'm in there something attacks me and I can't use my skills to fight back so I die. :x I thought those were like..red-zones to make it more difficult for you to escape from one map to the other. >___>;

Lol, you may have a point..they are red. Maybe they are 'Death Zones' and we shouldn't be trying to rest in them:p Seems kinda silly to me, but you never know what the developers of the game really intended until you hear it from them....maybe we'll get lucky and a GM or CSR will discover this thread and tell us what they are supposed to be.....speaking of which....BUMP!!!!!

I also agree with this its suppose to be a safe zone if not how is it that alot of other monsters can't get though it? Even though i was being chased.

The red zones keeps monsters from reaching in there and attacking... That is until Mystra Hill and similar where they can go bonkers anytime. Just imagine the 'twig, plants and bugs" when they invade the "safe zone" in stronger areas... Oh, the horror! Yesterday pops up in mind. >_<

Agreed.
I've had my skills access denied mid-map before. Not good. ~.~
