Does it ever. Mistmoore is a really buggy zone. Parts of the
dungeon are behind the wall next to the zone. The area around
the gargoyle towards is also buggy (I've died there twice due
to level 35-45 stuff casting on me through walls).

Any area effect songs. The *only* place I've found to be safe
for AE is the area to the left of the pond as you come down
the zone ramp, and wide open spaces like the middle of the
graveyard (do NOT use AE near the walls of the graveyard - I
saw an entire level 30 party wiped out in 5 seconds because of
this).

Heck, I've even had something cast at me through the walls
while I was in Lesser Faydark standing right next to the
Mistmoore zone. I know this is supposed to be impossible, and
I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to me.
Something with a Mistmoore-ish name behind the walls tagged me
with tashan and a DD. I moved away from the zone and it
stopped casting at me.
