Indeed since that experience it has happened to SEVERAL other players. It
seems to just happen all of a sudden, then in all maps the monsters are
friendly to that player. If another player joins the monsters will attack,
but they will still ignore the player who is "friendly" to them. Another
point I have noticed, monsters tend not to attack you UNLESS you
physically attack them. If you attack with spells they remain passive but
if you get a successful hit, they will react (learnt that one the hard
way).

It would seem so, maybe it happens on start up?
