[bengendron]

well is it right that you can get attack from outside of your house while your inside i always thought your house is the safest spot now i have to log out every time i see some one bye my house

[Arsen]

stay in the middle tile of your house?

[bengendron]

so what since i have a small house i can just die cuz of spells hitting me

[OneEyedJack]

If you stay in the middle of your house you should be fine.

[bengendron]

[bengendron]

so what no help im just going to die every time some one sees me in my house i mean come on this is crazy i can just die every time some one attacks me in my house this shouldent be aloud really how would u like it if some on stands out side your house and kills u then u get on another char to loot the char who just died then u die again and do this repeatedly then u loss every thing each char had on them i mean come on

You are raging but you are getting the correct advice. Perhaps you don't know where the center tile on your small house is?

[bengendron]

[Arsen]

but even if he dont know where the center tile is,

there is a clearly a way to chainlight ppl even if they stay in the middle tile.
Johnny and me were staying in nwo´s brit gy small last week. we were in the center tile and some urks showed up and casted chainlightnings on us. we were forced to recall out.
i dont know how they did that, i asked in urk ch around but no one wants to tell.
might be a bug. i heared also luca did that to someone.

Area spells like chain lightning and meteor swarm can reach up to 2 tiles into your house. In a small house, whose interior dimensions are 5 tiles x 5 tiles, that means that there is only one safe tile, the exact middle. You can easily find out which is the center tile by making sure you are exactly 2 tiles away from every wall. What I do for new players who I lend houses to, is set down a stool in the center tile for them, and remind them that is the only safe spot in the house.

HOWEVER, this does not guarantee your safety in case you are macroing something that requires you to take damage (mainly magery). This is because the earthquake spell has a much longer reach, and people can hit you with it even if you're standing in the center tile. EQ will not kill you, but can leave you low enough in health that if your macro does not include an "if hp's <= XX; heal" then you are very much suceptible to dying.
