What's a Private Server?
Private Servers
A private server, also known as a server emulator or instance, is an unofficial recreation of an original game that uses the same files as the original game but is hosted on a different server and uses its own unique database. There have been several Chobots private servers; unofficial recreations of the original Chobots game.
The only official and recognized private servers of Chobots were Chobots.de and Chobots.in, respectively the German and Indian instances of Chobots, which were licensed by Vayersoft. Kavalok' (Kavalok.com) was a "private" server owned by Vayersoft and used as a test server for Chobots before updates to the live game were pushed.
Overview
Chobots private servers are not officially recognized or licensed by Vayersoft, meaning they are technically illegal, and are instead run by individual groups, organizations, and people—typically players of the original Chobots game. Because they run on their own server and use their own databases, players must create new accounts on each Chobots private server, as accounts cannot be transferred between instances. Chobots private servers are hosted on separate websites with unique domains.
One very important thing to note is that by default, Chobots does not encrypt passwords. This means you should assume your password is stored in plain text, and anyone with access to the database can view it along with the email used to register. It is highly recommended to use a fake email or a brand new password that hasn’t been used elsewhere.
Password Security:
- Legacy.Chobots3D.com hashes passwords currently.
- Chotopia.us (Shadow) claims to also hash user passwords.
- It is still recommended to use a unique password on all online services.
Online Private Servers
- Chotopia.us (Previously Chobots.cf/Chobots.ws) (2014–)
