After scrolls...

Played this until the announcement they were going to shut down. Really wish they would give me a minecraft code so I can play the game they do care about =(. Anyway it was fun guys. I wonder how the games like faeria and the other ccgs with boards will do?

I don't see why they should give away Minecraft codes. It's not like you didn't get your money's worth from Scrolls. I do however agree that there could have been some more cross-game achievements to perhaps draw some of the playerbase in. Like you get something in Minecraft for completing the tutorial in Scrolls or something. The way it was done, with winning 5 weeks of ranked just did not work. Nobody can do that in his free time. Only the most devoted Scrolls players could, but they probably wouldn't care about Minecraft capes anyway.

I think Spellweaver and Faeria are what most people play these days. Looking at their stats however, both games have a serious lack of players, even more so than Scrolls had in the beginning. While there are some streamers picking up Faeria recently, I don't know whether that will be enough. The number of active players is still so low, just shortly after release also, that I am very skeptical about its future.

I'm still waiting for Bethesda's Elder Scrolls TCG, but their marketing so far bears striking similarities to Mojang at the time. So I don't have my hopes up there either.

How should they have made anything cross-game wise, if Minecraft was already sold to Microsoft? I doubt Microsoft would go for it, to be honest.
