Miniclip has officially shut down its servers except for 8 Ball Pool and Agario

    A sad day for millennials as one of the most important parts of their childhood, Miniclip, has just announced that they are shutting down all their servers except for 8 Ball Pool and Agario.

    The news comes after years of declining daily player numbers on the site and dwindling revenue from web games. Adobe Flash Player, a key factor in Miniclip's success in the 2000s, had to be phased out across the board, which meant news of the inevitable shutdown was imminent.

    A website that was built from the ground up on Adobe Flash player and had a lot of games that the plugin needed to play it was just a ticking time bomb waiting for its end.

    During its March meeting last April, UK mobile game publisher Miniclip revealed plans to shut down the web game portal, focusing on the success of its mobile games, which recently surpassed 4 billion downloads across its mobile portfolio. Agar.io, Mini Militia, 8 Ball Pool, etc

    Miniclip also posted a lengthy FAQ on its support website explaining the company's change in strategy and what it means for other game and content partnerships. They explained in detail why the platform cannot be made available to fans as "the technology required to do this is a proprietary solution for Miniclip".

    Regardless of its initial success, the site had trouble attracting enough viewers to visit daily and monetize the web gaming service.

    With the advancement of mobile gaming, the already dwindling players are not counted and now we are witnessing the collapse of an era piece. However, the company is now focused on a better revenue generation model and we are likely to see more successful mobile games in the future.

    Below I put a collection of a large number of Mini games to refresh your memories. Anyone who wants can go and download it and refresh their childhood memories.
