Spells: Spell casting range message or possible winged death bug?

[Technique]

Casting "announce" range is 200 units. Druid swarm dot line is 250. Mage bolts are even farther at 300.

The spell ranges are correct. The announce range should be tested on Live.

[Smedy]

If someone could confirm the live/classic announce range that would be great, i can't remember being jumped by spells like this on live but then again people sucked ass back in 1999.
