Opinions? Where do you think the game will go from here now that Notch isn't at the helm anymore?

Well, it has been officially released.

Anyway, it's in Jeb's hands now, and he's a boss.
We've got more games to expect from Mojang, however. It ain't the end of Notchspin.
What Notch has to say on the matter
Also,
Notch loves TF2, and is pretty good at it.

I keep forgetting it's a "complete" game and isn't in beta anymore, haha.

I know what you mean. After a long time of referring to the paid game as 'Beta' or 'Alpha', I'm finding it hard to re-adjust to 'Survival', or whatever.

Actually, if you've noticed, Jeb has been doing much of the work for quite a while now. Remember before 1.8, when Notch directed all questions towards Jeb?

And now he has official control. OH AND THEY'RE HIRING AN API DEVELOPER IN JANUARY.

Specifications anywhere? I would love to work there.. Though I don't think they take a minor-guy

I think they've already hired him but he doesn't start til january, and if not they're planning on hiring from bukkit, forge, or mcp.

Hopefully this means jeb will implement bugfixes and features faster without waiting for Notches approval. Hoping for lots of content updates.

 

[Aetherrack]

I rather hope for more, faster, and better bugfixes. Content can wait until we have an API.

It's a solitaire/ yu-gi-oh crossover with no actual potential for success. Or so I've heard.

I reckon Scrolls won't be bad... But it will be doomed, as it will always be under the shadow of Minecraft.
