⛔ Zapak Entertainment Chobots.in Closed December 30, 2011

⛔ Chobots.in Private Server Closed in 2014

Chobots.in was a server which was officially licensed by Vayersoft to Zapak Digital Entertainment Limited in 2009 and launched in the same year. Chobots.in actually "outlived" the original Chobots.com and closed on December 30, 2011. Chobots.in was later re-opened in 2014 however it wasn't by Zapak but a group of individuals.

Chobots.in - Zapak Digital Entertainment Limited

The Beginning

Run on the Indian gaming website Zapak owned by Indian conglomerate Reliance Group through their subsidiary company Reliance Big Entertainment. Chobots.in ran a source from Chobots.com 2009 and never received some of the updates seen on Chobots.com before it's closure in 2011

The Streets of Chobots.in were generally dead, with some players visiting "late at night" for North American players, however shortly after the closure of Chobots.com Chobots.in became the only available Chobots for the Summer of 2011 until Chobots.net opened it's doors in October 2011 and exploded in popularity.

Hacking

Shortly after the closure of Chobots.com due to the source files being leaked as well as the Moderation Panel Chobots.in became plagued with "Hackers" which ruined the experience of playing Chobots.

Many users would try to login, and find their accounts deleted. They would have to re-register. However, these were only "soft" deletions - an option selected in the Moderation Panel. This would set a value in the User Database for deletedUser from 000 to 001. The account remains intact but is inaccessible. These is an irreversible action without direct Database Access, which none of the "Hackers" had.

Closure

Chobots.in closed its doors on December 30 2011, after Zapak Digital Entertainment Limited shut-down the Servers running the game.

Zapak attempted to shut down the website earlier but left the Game Server Online and Media Files accessible. This allowed a third-party site which embedded the game client to the homepage to still run for a little while.

Chobots.in - "Private Server"

The Unlicensed Private Server was ran by Teckon and Monty, and ran for a few months sometime in early 2014, the server shutdown and eventually became Chobots.co.uk
