I have an idea that could potentially help, and would make the majority of players happy, though it would take more work than slapping a .smx file and a map rotation onto a server.
We could always code an xG specific gamemode. This way we could have 100% control of what happens in the server.
Or if that seems like too much work, we could make a special xG map. If it were to act like our trade servers, just give the map a ton of things to keep players occupied other than spawn camping and trading.
I mean, we've recycled a TON of different maps and gamemodes but people will find a way to find exploits, or annoying glitches in 'em, or just generally get bored and stop playing. If we had something that's 100% custom, it could even replace multiple servers at once.
Think about it: a map built with a mini Deathrun game built in (can even be 100% automated if done correctly), a large area for people to dick around in like the trade servers, special areas for events to take place, hell you could even use it as an excuse to test new scripts and plugins. This way if we give players enough choices with a single map, then it should practically populate itself.
Now I may not have too much map making/coding experience, but this is a good excuse for me to learn. Plus, it could always be a team project. It would get done faster and incorporate more ideas into the map.
I just think it'd be a neat experience to have the community come together to make something that could be pretty good.
TL;DR: Let's make an xG custom, multi-purpose map, ya dinguses!
