I often wonder if seemingly-random long reach from NPCs is a product of EQ not liking circles.
View distance is a square. You can see farther on a diagonal than you can straight ahead. You can test easily in dark/foggy conditions, cause you can look straight at something and it isn't visible but if you turn to an angle it pops into view. Especially noticable like when you're crossing DL from way up while levitating.
I wonder if NPC hit ranges and PC hit boxes or whatever are squares too, and turning this way or that way often results in seemingly-goofy things happening.
