[QUOTE="Neo, post: 1900876, member: 4139"] Once a trap has been laid it will remain where it is until triggered or until the server is fully reset. The traps may have been left as monster lures and then forgotten about as most low levels tend to stick quite close to the transition to town when fighting beetles for the first level or so, and its a fairly common tactic to lay traps and then lead the monsters back over them. Any number of explanations could be the case here..someone could have laid them, died from the beetles and then logged out leaving them behind..or indeed it could have been someone intentionally trying to get PC's its difficult to say. There are definitely no traps as part of the standard module that are set in the location though so any present were definitely player laid for whatever reason. As I point out above laying traps is not actually against the server rules, I would however "prefer" they not be left at the transition..making them pretty much unavoidable. There will be some time spent in the Ascension jail to anyone I find laying them at the transition point to town...with possible GP/XP penalties for repeat offenders. I suspect this was likely unintentional though at it isnt something that comes up very often, which implies it isnt really malicious. [/QUOTE]
