Yes, the NPC:s (even monsters) just let you attack them as much as you want, without any counter-attacks.
Also, the NPC:s keep getting Impervious to Attack every second minute or something...

What on earth is going on?

This might also get the economy in unbalance, because it only needs you to be able to damage the enemy to kill it.
I mean, if I would start playing now, I could kill almost whatever monster as soon as I would get a weapon...
This definitely needs to be fixed, and quick!

Strange that there is no other notices about this, even thought this started about two days ago . ???

Something to do with the NPC server no doubt. Happens quite often but it should be normal in no time.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Just another reason for a character wipe :P Enjoy it while you can.

Most weird is that they randomly start attacking, get impervious to attack, and then again just keep standing there  :(
Has this something to do with the new "enhanced AI" the updates-list states?
Very great "feature", just makes fighting dull...  :)

Curious if anything is being done about this one, as it still seems to be an issue.

Mass exploitation of a bug Zanzibar.

Not really a bug, but of a flaw in the NPC server.  Tons of people are getting pp and items which they usualy wouldn't be able to get.

Right. Fighting NPCs when they don't attack you back allows you to amass the spoils of battle without really fighting for it. It's happened many times before though, so I wasn't saying "We need a wipe now, seriously!" More like "Bugs like this are the reason starting over at some point will be a good idea."

And, they like bragging about the power they have over our characters.
