Immediate "Connection Lost" when starting Scrolls

I recently got Scrolls from the Humble Bundle, so I decided to try it out. Made a Mojang account (and migrated my Minecraft account to it), installed the game, let it patch....

Every time I start the game, this happens:

As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with my internet connection and my firewall isn't blocking it. I've tried running as admin, same error. I've tried a few different times of day, so I don't think it's maintenance. Mojang's website is... less than helpful. Any further ideas would be appreciated.

I still have absolutely no clue why this doesn't work. I've tried "Troubleshooting compatibility", I've tried running as admin, I've tried disabling my anti-virus and running the game, nothing seems to work. I still have a game by one of my favorite developers, in one of my favorite genres, and have never seen anything past the opening screen and error message.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a pretty high-end rig, 8-core AMD processor, 32 GB RAM, MSI Radeon R9 270X graphics card.

I read something a while back that some internal (to the game) routing tables may be corrupted, so restarting your router (or otherwise clearing its routing tables, perhaps releasing/renewing your IP address on your router) may clear it up.

While I'd like to think that a game developer (or any developer for that matter) wouldn't attempt to reinvent the wheel when it comes to network routing, it wouldn't surprise me if something like that happened. Perhaps it's worth a try.
