Since The Grinder hasn't been generating a natural population, I've retired it and replace it with our new dedicated trading server, The Merchant. I'll be tweaking its mods as time goes on, but for all intents and purposes it's up and running and has already hit capacity on its own.

I'm not sure if it's something any of us will use all that much but it's free and a good way to get the WDFNews.com name out.

Thank you, I am tired of people spamming on The Tempest for trading. I know it doesn't bug everyone, but its my pet peeves.

Yeah, the occasional request isn't a big deal but if someone keeps asking I just want to say "DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A TRADE SERVER?" So the little bonus of us having this is that we can tell people on the Tempest to bugger off and go to it. =P

I barely even play TF2 anymore and I think this is a cool idea.

I just hope I can get it stable.. it's crashed a couple times and I'm not sure why. It must be the map but there aren't many good trade-oriented maps to choose from. =/

Same, mass trading in the Tempest is annoying.

Any would-be amateur map makers among us interested in putting together a simple yet pleasing trading map for us? I'd hop in and make one, myself, but am finding absolutely no inclination to do so, even though it's pretty easy to make one when you don't need it to be logical or "realistic".

Yeah, it's a bit of a can of worms but people are into it. It's a pretty natural follow-up to crafting, and crafting was a pretty neat side idea. My only beef is that--in my opinion--some of the items give an unfair advantage in ways I don't like, and trading/buying allows people to get them pretty easily.

I can throw one together if you like.

Please. If you can stick our penguin or name in it somewhere, all the better. I'm toying with Hammer but, being a perfectionist, I'll probably keep trying to make this too fancy to the point I lose interest. =/

Oh, my one other request is to make sure the spawn rooms can't possibly be spammed. If people want to fight, that's fine.. but fighting shouldn't be forced on anyone.

Yeah, it's been down for a couple days now. I got tired of constantly restarting it when it crashed. I'll put it back online once we get our own trade map for it.

Back online with a map I threw together. It was really just a test bed to learn some stuff, but has decent enough protection in the spawn rooms that people can idle it as a trade server.

'course.. don't know if it's worthwhile to continue pursuing map making, since we don't have a custom map server no more. =(

That reminds me - Shadow I have more ideas for our map.

Sunday and Saturday... and most of the week prior. =P
Not for this one map, mind you... this one was only a 3-day job.

I have an idea for a CTF-CP hybrid map but, while the fun is in the journey, not having a serious place to host it kind of dissuades me from taking it seriously. =/ Plus after seeing some of the stuff others have done I'm not sure I have any business touching Hammer.
