I found the same thing in Paw a couple of weeks ago. There was a dark elf
necromancer named Nixx Nenix roaming Paw. I was just coming out after
successfully defeating Shaman Ren Rex and saw a dark elf swimming. I
figured it was another player until he tagged with a damage over time (DOT).
I made it to the zone before he could catch me and zoned out and the DOT
still took me down 3 and 1/2 bubbles of health (I had 571 hit points at
level 19).
