Would it be possible to have more than one map on the trade server?
Such as the Mario Tower map & the Ponyville map from the Custom Maps server, as they're more chill maps, perfect for trade.
 
More trade maps would be really nice. Would it be on a rotation? And for how long on each map?
+1 from me.
 
I think a rotation would be good. But more chill maps, like the ones above & Mario Kart, etc.
Say, an hour rotation? It wouldn't matter as much because people in there are trying to trade stuff more than they're trying to kill.
 
Map change on a trade server would be annoying for some people I think... But if they don't have time limit, so it can only be initiated by voting I see no reason why not if majority of the server votes for it.

Yeah. I think this would be better than a set rotation.
 
Makes sense. But if it's kept to say, 3-4 maps, I think that would be better than always being on the same map.
 
People wouldn't hate downloading new maps, well I don't mind.
And you should put in some new trade maps. Portal 2 is getting boring.
 
I don't do this because people that want to trade hate downloading new maps all the time.
The one we've got now though is pretty bloody bland if you ask me, doesn't make it very attractive - for me, at least - to go there. If I only knew that there would be fun stuff to do rather than sticky jumping like a maniac then maybe I'd visit more often.
We have different maps on our trade servers.
Really? I've only seen one map and that's the glass tower with the pool surrounding it and stuff.

I've been messing around in Hammer these last few weeks to create a trade_skial to replace that god-awful map.
Sometimes a nice-themed trading map will lighten up the server a bit?
Any ideas? I was playing with displacements and rocky textures to try and make a kind of canyon setting, but I think doing something indoor would be less work.

They go there to trade, not to enjoy the map. Most don't really care.
Would you rather trade bananas with a guy in Legoland or in Auschwitz?

I mean, stupid analogies aside...

Make it have a Pokemon and Lego theme. Everybody loves them some fucking Pokemon and Lego.

I'll look for some Lego textures, but don't expect shine or cubemaps from them.
 
...just a Lego corner would be nice, tbh.
Thought you meant this thing at first

I'll look into just making a spinoff trade_plaza, but made out of lego and with some other shenanigans.
