Fake borders - getting Trapped - Pet killed.

These "fake" borders are driving me NUTS!!!

Today one of my alts lost a "War Dog" pet today, it could have been a $$ Pet.

War dogs attacked on 3.-2 - I crossed the border to 2.-2 - got trapped! Tried to move ... sent right back to 3.-2!

The War Dogs finished off my War Dog and in the second it took me to get back to being trapped on 2.-2 again my Troll's life line was a red ยท, not a line a dot.

Yea yea, I know - shop pets - cheap for me but for new players - or higher level players with better $$ pets and stronger monsters?

This getting "stuck" and having to cross borders multiple times is ANNOYING and happens far too often. NPC's appearing in the "No Go Zone" (NGZ)

Therefor IMHO these fake borders are a Rule 9 breaking move on the part of Comp.
Rule 9.
Reducing game-playing experience of others!

{snip}or do anything else to annoy other players{snip}
PLEASE FIX THE BORDERS:

Either make the playing field smaller with a black non-playable edge around it, or
edit all maps removing all obstacles from the NGZ and make sure no NPC's appear in the NGZ.
- Two that frequently appear in the NGZ: Princess Resa & Ascanius

+1 new borders are horrible. Comp said its because of cross platform with Apple phone users. But other cross platform games i have played do not encounter this. I lost a lighting bee this week because of this.

The iPhone cutout is so tiny...just put the borders back to how they were and players can rotate their iPhone for 5 secs(!) and then rotate it back after crossing. Geez...not that complicated!

I have lost a few ogre halflings, but it was always my own fault that it happened...

Still, I've had low level alts that I've needed to wait for awhile while stuck so they didn't go back to the old map and die.

I will always be the first to say that I am a very flawed person. So many flaws. I'm surprised I've lived this long.

Anyone that gets even a little annoyed with me here on the forums just be thankful that you don't have to deal with me in real life.

Hold on... Allowing the screen to scroll past the outer borders of a map? Perfect! That would stop this nonsense, except where there were already obstructions.
