Game Mechanics: Pet spawn messages from long distance

[Lillelobo]

The last weeks I keep getting
"Konanab says: At your service master"
and similar pet-summoned messages, even though the pet summoner is way out of say-range (and not on druid track). First 10 times I looked around for owner/pet but now I just ignore it.

Once, I asked who owned the pet by that name, and at the time I was in Aviak Village in SK, while the Magician was at the Gnoll Spires.

I assume its a bug, and its fairly new (within last two patches I think).

This still appears to be a bug. There are many duplicate bug posts on this.

Temp fix, pending update.
