In an attempt to be helpful, I think BnS members should tell Jagex what they think they have done right. I'll post this thread on the forums when I get enough people to respond.

List of things Jagex has done well:
1. Classic Mode was well done.
2. Color Picker (though that should have already been in the game)
3. The overall graphical fidelity has massively improved.
4. The Game Modes are fun.
5. Most of the maps are good.
6. The In-Game Events are fun.
7. User placed blocks having more HP is definitely helpful.
8. No more gun clipping through walls problems
9. No more z-fighting.

What you said is about all they have done.
I too like their gamemodes, and the better graphics, and all you have said.

Recently, the forum staff hasn't been very active. And they aren't that helpful. I've been complaining about a problem for months and they haven't fixed it yet.

The maps are decent, but I wouldn't say all of them are good.

They never played the game so they will never know

Classic mode is very well done.
Although the general skill level of the players is a little below average. *cough*7 year olds*cough*

The graphics have been improved, but there is no low graphics option.
My computer is overclocked, so I can run it, but I'm not so sure about others.
(also, why no face shading?)

good gamemodes, especially zombies.

The maps are too small/too hard to navigate.(double dragon)

I think improving the health of user placed blocks is a great idea.

Maps are crap, game modes are pretty crap, and the commando's model looks like a gay rambo.

Zombie mode is so fun I think the entire game should have been a zombie survival. Game modes would have just been different eras or something. I think that would have sold better

This is thinks you like about the game. Not things you hate.

There are plenty of threads on the Jagex forums stating what Jagex got wrong. What did they do right?

They literally did nothing right aside from graphical improvement.

They dropped support for .75. If they didn't, we might have risked to have yet another split in the community where half of us would be here and the other half living in the bottom of the jagex forum.

That's rather cynical. In my experience, it's pretty hard to get nothing right.

well I think that getting nothing right is quit an achievement as that is one of the hardest things game developers can't seem to do

They gave us a few extra days to backup the forums.
I'm just gonna say not providing an official backup of the forums though was stupid. So this is negligible.

To all those people who are saying that jagex did nothing right except graphical improvement, you have been brainwashed by the community.
jagex is not bent on screwing ace of spades over. The main problem is caused by the many layers of mangers. They are all greedy pointy-haired weasels, who have no idea how to make a game.
I seriously doubt you have played 1.0 for a decent length of time, if not at all. 1.0 is crap, but jagex have done a few actual improvements to the game.
- No seeing guns through walls, and you cant Z fight anymore.
- They have removed crouch-spamming. (At least on classic ctf, not sure about the other gamemodes.)
- They made classic ctf in the first place.
- No trapping your own teammates in blocks.
- Two good new gamemodes, zombies and multi-hill. (Multi-hill needs a bit of improvement though.)
- User placed blocks now have more HP.
