I always hated that bug. I also hate praying and ending up in the water with no HP and then dying two steps later and losing all your gear.

Too bad there arnt underwater areas....that would be cool...to have to have some sort of magical underwater breathing device or spell to access the area and explore. And if the spell ran out while you were underwater you would basically be f*cked...unless you ran into a room with an air pocket or something...hmmm...i think i am giving myself area ideas!

The on the same token, there could be people walking across the ocean floors, battling underwater monsters and gathering special underwater items....looting all the corpses of the newbies who drowned over the centuries.
