The HearthPwn Tavern Is Closing Its Doors
March 23, 2013 is a date that will be hard to forget.
Almost six years ago I was brought on by Curse as the Community Manager of HearthPwn. Part of the job entailed keeping everyone up to date with the latest news out of the community, and today I am with deep regret and sadness to give you one of the final updates HearthPwn has to offer, words that are difficult to type together - we are closing the doors to our Tavern.
HearthPwn will be closing its doors on June 28, 2019, 2257 days after our journey began. It is on this day you will no longer be able to add new content to the site.
Although our doors may be closing, we’re going to keep the windows open. The history of our site, all the posts, decks, and other content we all have created over the years will be archived and still viewable to those who want to see it. Creating new content will be disabled, our news will no longer be updated.
We’ve all been through a lot together over the years and I’m going to miss delivering content to you all as fast as possible, especially the sleep-deprived card reveal periods. Our amazing deck guide writers over the years have created some of the best content this game has ever seen and educated many new players in new archetypes. I’m quite happy all that content and history will still be accessible because there’s quite a bit of unique content.
Our Fan Creations section with the weekly card design competitions has some of Hearthstone’s most dedicated fans and gave way to some of the coolest card designs and always lead to questions of “Is Blizzard crazy enough to add something like this to the game?”. Only time will ultimately tell, though considering we did end up with Genn and Baku, anything is truly possible if you set your mind to it.
Speaking of those that really put their mind to it, our wonderful selection of forum trolls. You all made us work relentlessly, testing the limits of our moderation system, but you too brought a special charm to the site. Those midday laughs when we couldn’t believe you were at it again are uncountable
I could name so many of you who have improved my life in some way through HearthPwn but I can’t do that for I fear I’d miss out on someone. Even those people I never interacted with directly, there’s a good chance I read something you posted or created and thought highly of it or had a good laugh. Thank you so much for all the heartfelt and informative messages throughout the years, you’re the reason I go through madness to make sure card reveals every expansion were delivered as fast as possible.
I’d like to invite everyone to leave a message in the comment section below. What was your favourite HearthPwn memory? I’d also like to invite you to my Discord server where we can all still keep in touch, talk Hearthstone, and go crazy with card reveals even after HearthPwn closes its doors. I'll also be around on Twitch today talking about memories with y'all.
Stay awesome,
Robert and the HearthPwn Staff
PS. Myself and the moderation team will all still be around until the end. Expect to see continued coverage of the remaining adventure chapters and more. Thank you.
PPS. We still need to declare a winner in our last ever class creation competition.
An update I'd like to add from the MTG Salvation shut down message. Like them, we are also continuing with another project. You may find the old team on Out of Cards.
Quote from Feyd_RuinThe answer to the inevitable question of why is complex, but deserves a response. Our owners have expanded on to other projects, launching such epic endeavors as D&D Beyond. As these have taken off, the development team has shifted focus and simply does not have the time and resources for us that we require. They can simply no longer justify the development, infrastructure, and maintenance costs of the site compared to their other projects.
So moving to hearthstation?
It is now www.outof.cards
www.outof.cards
Sucks to hear this man
Opponent: Destroys my Hearthpwn
Me: *trigger Redemption*
This is shocking to me. I was just getting to HearthPwn today like each day before just to read my HS newspaper and was curious what is new in this universe... I wasn't expecting these bad news at all. I would like to thank you for everything, mainly for giving me the chance to belong in this great comunity. What should I do now???? Thank you all!! Good luck in your next project :)
Thank for the dedication.
Thank to the community.
An era has come to an end, I'm really sorry to hear so. The end of a community hub is always very sad to me.
I love you all.

Now I will have to search the internet again for Hearthstone updates..
WHY ARE YOU LEAVING???
STAY!
HS replay is garbage and doesn't update enough. Not even any of the pros use it. And outof.cards gets less traffic than a Atari 2600 forum. Have an old account that wasn't linked to twitch but I have lurked here for years. This honestly sucks. I really hope outof.cards gets some traffic because the website is so barren at the moment.
outof.cards is in beta for literally one day, i think we are doing quite well given that fact :) Definitely keep up with the site, it will get better soon ;-)
I will miss the Salt thread and mr. Kaladin as well T_T
There's something unsaid about it. GL HF!

Farewell Heartpwn, you'll be missed.
RIP 80g Quest Trading
We'll be migrating that to www.outof.cards
I suggest you tell Fluxflashor to add that you're migrating to this site, as it seems very important and some people may miss it.
Why are you gonna shut down an entire website just to go to another one?
We are moving to a new one because it is shutting down.
He can't officialy advertise it in that way just yet. He is still employed with Curse. All in good time.
So why that?
No way in hell this site is not profitable, what's up? Dumbest decision I've seen since diablo immortal announcement.
