Mojang, the developer and publisher of the game "Scrolls," announced on Feb. 6 that the game will officially shut down on Feb. 13. Moreover, Mojang also announced its plan to release the server software to the public.
Mojang formally announced the date the servers of the collectible card game "Scrolls" will officially shut down — Feb. 13. On June 29, 2015, Mojang announced that the game servers will run at least until July 2016. More than a year later, "Scrolls" would become unplayable.
The recent announcement failed to indicate the reason why the game will be shutting down. However, their announcement back in 2015 shed some light on the matter. The folks behind Mojang said that while the game was launched successfully and had a lot of active players, "Scrolls" reached the point where it became unsustainable for further development.
Alongside the announcement about the upcoming end of the game, Mojang informed the public that there will be an upcoming community tournament on Feb. 11. According to the "Scrolls" subreddit, the game will officially start at 6 p.m. CET, but players who wish to join must be online by 5:30 p.m. CET. The format of how the game will run will be decided by the number of players who will join the tournament. There will be no rules when it comes to what deck a player will play with. In addition, players ChiefBromden, alvarpq and kledonian have expressed interest in streaming the tournament.
Mojang also announced on Feb. 6 that some Mojang developers will be playing "Scrolls" on Feb. 9. The developers will start playing at 3:00 p.m. CET and will play for a few hours.
Furthermore, Mojang shared its plan to release the server software to the public. The company also noted that they made some progress with a modified game client to connect to the server. Additionally, Mojang explained that if and when the server software is released to the public, the game client/server will not be open source, but players can edit the game database.
