The DotA 2 Trading community.

Hey folks, Bottswana here. You may have seen me around, you may have not. Regardless, it's about time that I introduce myself to you fine folks.

Back when Dota2Traders was having server difficulties because of our size, Leon came to me via a mutual friend of ours looking for help. Since then I've basically become the server guy for the site. We moved to a new server, and I spent a large amount of time and using a plethora of information sped up the site to what it is right now.

You might be wondering what else were doing behind the scenes. Well, Leon discovered that I also work on website design and code, so he's got me making the all new, shiny Dota2Traders site, nicknamed 'Dota2Traders Marketplace'.
We want to make this site even better for trading. Whether that is backpack viewing, reputation sharing, or trade offering. In addition to the current forum medium and trade chat.

What I want to know from you folks is, what do you, as the community, want to see on the new...

Hello everyone!

So, we wanted to let you know about our new Archive section, held within Item Trading. This section is more or less the graveyard for old and closed threads, but is a wealth of information!

From now on, any threads that are requested to be closed, will be sent here. Be sure to search here as well if you are potentially looking for a price, as it holds details from Market Discussion, Price Checks, Item Trading and Item Selling.



Because of all of the information being stored/sent here, we kindly request of you! When your Item Trade or Item Sale is complete, do NOT edit your posts to say that your sale is over! We, and members of this site, depend and want that information! If you would like your thread closed, simply create a new response, or send a warning to the mods/staff, requesting a close. We will take care of the rest! Keeping the true name of the items in the title, as well as all relevant information within the posts, are important and valuable!

We (the staff at Dota2Traders) apologise for the temporary downtime that was affecting our user-base today. The server which Dota2Traders.com is hosted via, was being migrated from an older (less efficient) VPS server to it's own personal dedicated server.

In non-geek terms, basically, the server is faster and more reliable, pages will load faster, the search function was fixed, and the people will rejoice. So, enjoy the upgraded server, which *should* make your time spent roaming around Dota2Traders more enjoyable, and less painful.

Also, sidenote, some people may still be unable to load Dota2Traders.com, this is a gradual thing when migrating a server, within the next hour or so, access to the site should be fine for everyone, so, if you have trader friends saying they can't get on, ask them to be patient, and all shall be fine over the next short period of time.
