The Chobots.net Team added a plethora of new Features, Items, Rooms, and other general improvements to the game, as well as patched many of the "Hacks/Cheats" which were created as a result of the Chobots.com Source being leaked causing it's closure in 2011
Community
Chobots.net had a massive player base in comparison to other Private Servers, and had a fairly active player base as-well leading up to 2014.
Closure
Chobots.net closed it's doors in April 2014 following a [Facebook Post] "Beloved users of Chobots.net, It is with deep regret I have to inform you that our game has come to an end. It has been a great journey and Chobots has been a great part of our lives. We have shared memories and made new friends. Friendships made on Chobots can never be replaced. With much sadness, today is the day we must say goodbye. The Chobots.net team would like to thank everyone for their dedication to the game. There is a website named Chobotical claiming relationship to Chobots.net — this is not true. We wish everyone the best of luck in their futures."
Despite the claims of not having relation to Chobotical, it did contain some Chobots.net Team Members after a falling out between the .net staff.
Private Server Complications
The first "large" private server to release during Chobots.net's life-time was Chobots.im and one of the initial responses of the Chobots.net Staff Team was to ban users who were caught playing on the server, this trend was seen with all private servers following, however instead of banning users the Chobots.net Staff Team began only banning users involved with Moderating & Launching the Private Servers instead.
