and notjust spikes and blades. Different ones like maybe a glitterdust trap or a hold person trap. Etc. Need some diversity with the magic traps.

/signed, and make them randomized too
They should have a big crushy boulder trap like in RaidersReally, you couldn't go wrong with any of lucas' trap ideas.
More traps that force people on alternative/longer routes to complete a goal! get rid of the annoying straightforward running
Just a tiny note, some of the runes in the Subterrane can cast Hold Person.
I do agree, more variety in traps. I'm a Cleric without evasion and with pathetic reflex saves (even worse due to Yugo pots) and I still want to see more threatening traps.
Personally, I would love to trigger a trap and see a fireball come from down the hall at me. Ball lightning would work as would freeing sphere. I agree with random traps too. Logically, fire traps around fire giants or poison ones in thieves lairs work, but in general dungeons a random trap would add to the suprise and take away from the preparedness of the team. I have a toon with great reflexes and greater fire protection, he runs right through known fire traps, I might stay behind the rogue if that fire trap blew acid once.

Make traps totally random so spot becomes viable for experienced players. Not only for new content and new players.
Some other cool and very dangerous traps would be celing falling traps, monster spawning traps, neg lv necromangic traps, spell point draining traps, and the ever annoying and potentially deadly, party separating trap. Take some tips from the pirnce of perisa games.
I'd like more "Don't step on the button!" style traps, as seen in Rainbow in the Dark.

I'm all for more better and different traps. But what I'd really like to see is random trap type and placement.
Oh, and do something about all these silly rogue splash toons. It annoys me to no end that someone with only 1 or 2 levels of rogue can find and disarm each and every trap that a pure rogue can. I dunno how to fix that foolishness, but someone should figure it out.
There are random trap locations in monastery of the scorpion. The majority of the population doesn't like it though. I personally find It much better

Same here. It might slow (slightly) the "Imagonnagokilleverythingnao" guys who run off way out of healing range, die before you catch up, then ask "why u not hjealz me??"
Of course, they'd still die in the trap after finding it for the rogue, but at least they wouldn't blame me for it

Here's an idea--why not have some of the 'symbol' spells used as traps? That is one of the ways they were intended to be used--just paste them on a wall, and they trigger for 30 seconds (once) when someone walks by. (after that they just fade away).
