The Long Road Ahead

Hello Chobots!
Just a quick note that I will be leaving Chobots, and not pursuing any former fashion or future private servers. I have made so many great friends and wish you all good luck in the road ahead.

Juniors Can Now Gift

Hi everyone!
Chobots is always looking for more ways to improve the game. They have been listening to what users have been saying, and thus have brought the gifting feature back for all members!

To be able to gift to other users, you must be at least 30 days old or have purchased citizenship. While trading will still remain a premium feature, this is a huge step into future updates to come!

Enjoy gifting,

New Author + Recap of St. Patrick's Party!

Hey guys, Camera here! I'm a new author for Vasa's amazing blog! (long-time fan, new-time writer). ;)

Basically, I will post about anything new to the Chobots World, for your viewing pleasure!

To begin, The St. Patrick's Day party just ended, and it was a huge blast! The party began with some awesome magic while they chose winners of their St. Patrick's Day look contest, whom happened to be Sweetypie0518, Willkdh, and Ariannagrande27!! Nice job guys--you have all became 2,000 bugs richer! Sweet!

After about 20 minutes of the moderator's magic and music that kept everyone on their feet, Vani made it even better and held a quiz, in which a handful of people won this amazing shirt of hers:

After all of these festivities, they ended the party with a massive amount of rain, such as Anonymous masks, Samantha hair, headbows, and more!

Then sadly, the party came to a close. It was so much fun, and I can't wait until the next party! :)

Well, that ends my first post. Hope you guys enjoyed, and can't wait to post again!

~Camera :P~

St. Patrick's Day Research Contest

Hi everyone!
Can you believe St. Patrick's day is only a few days away? I sure can't! The team figured it would be best if you knew a little background information before the party, so they're going to have a research contest!
Feel free to use this template when making your entry:

From today until March 23rd, you're asked to find the most interesting facts about St. Patrick's day. You can do so using some image editors, such as Paint, Photoshop, or anything else. The winners will receive citizenship, bugs, and even a little something extra!

Please keep in mind plagiarism is not accepted. You must rewrite the information in your own words. IF you catch anyone cheating, please email support@chobots.net

Have fun!

Citizen Party and Asteroid Contest

Hey friends! Today, a recent party was held for the citizens of Chobots as one of their perks to having bought citizenship for their selves or from someone else. Bluewonder held a Citizen party in the Citizen's HQ at 9:00 pm, Cho-Time. The party was located on the fullest server. At the party, there was tons of magic, music, and rain!

We had a blast! If you guys missed the party, maybe you'll be able to attend the next one. Juniors, if you want, you may purchase citizenship anytime for you or someone else, click here. Many users have also been complaining on how they don't have PayPal. No worries! You don't need a PayPal account to get citizenship, you can just use a credit card. 

In other news, Julia is holding a new contest for all users: an Asteroid contest! Speaking of Julia... please congratulate her on becoming a Team Manager! Julia has been with us since the beginning of Chobots.net and having her as a Team manager, I know the community is in safe hands.

In this game, if you've forgotten, you will need to shoot as many asteroids as you can before being hit by one. You can find this game located in the Cafe st. and into the Gamezone. Prizes will go to winners in ranks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Good luck and may the odds ever be in your favor!

Gifting Citizenship

Hey friends! A new update has been added to the game- the Chobots Team has allowed Citizenship to be gifted. After many years of requests for it to occur, the Chobots Team has made the option to buy citizenship for a family member or perhaps a friend of yours.

The process to give someone else citizenship is simply easy. Select the plan you want to purchase and enter in their username that you would like to give citizenship to. Make sure you or your parents read the Terms and Conditions and the Buyer Policy before purchasing anything for either you or someone else.

Afterwards, just fill out the order as you usually would for yourself. If you would like to purchase citizenship for someone else, click here.

I asked some of my friends on what they thought about this new option and here were some of their reponses:

Well, I really like the idea to gift citizenship to a family member or just a friend. Some people may not be able to buy citizenship for different reasons and if someone was able to give them that chance, it would be really cool and I think everyone would like it in my opinion -Master720

I think it's really cool, I can finally buy citizenship for my friends! -Kaitlynn

I love the idea, hopefully other people will like it as well. -Waash

 I sure love the idea as well and I can't wait to see everyone using and enjoying it.

Have a fabulous Friday!

• I've played Chobots ever since 2008 and blogged ever since 2010. Working on over 250+ blogs and successful on my blog for about a year, I decided to step back and find other interests
• In my free time when I'm not on Chobots, I like to draw, sing, play the piano and hang out with my friends and family
• My dream job is to sing for a living or become a tattoo artist

Hopefully, you learned some new things you don't know about me. If we haven't met in-game though, I sure hope to meet you as well as seeing old faces. If you ever want to see if I'm online, here's my tracker:

As we all know, the long awaited Culture week has come upon us. To get prepared for the fun week ahead, the team has revamped some of the popular rooms found in Chobots to get celebrating! Let's take a look:

Shop Street presents us with a nice decor of French flags, as well as some fancy tables and chairs to dine at.

Space Port Square shows us a large statue of Ganesha, the widely worshiped deity in Hindu religion, primarily found in India!

Academy Street offers some organized banners of the Italy flag, along with some statues of Chobots!

The Park shows us some amazing cherry blossom trees found in Japan, as well as the country flag.

Eco Street has many great aspects, such as the telephone booths and lamp posts displaying British culture!

Finally, Rocketmall street displays some fancy cacti wearing sombreros and proudly showing Mexican culture to its finest! :)
