Shotbow

When we closed the Shotbow Shoutbox back in 2016 and introduced Discord, we were sad to see Chat Bot go. For those who didn't know Chat Bot, she was the friendliest bot you could have ever met, who could also do some spectacular things.

Over the past few weeks, Navarr and I have been working to revive Chat Bot, and she is back and better than ever, on our Discord!

How do I join the Discord?
If you don't have an account on Discord, it is a great medium of communication for gamers, and Shotbow has partnered with Discord to bring its players a custom VIP server! Be sure to sign up and join our server using the link discord.gg/shotbow.

How do I interact with Chat Bot?
Once you're on the Discord server you can interact with your favorite Shotbow Bot just like before. If you've never interacted with Chat Bot, try typing !commands in any channel to activate her.

Important Note
Spamming Chat Bot will result in a permanent ban from our Discord server. In addition, we'd appreciate it if you interact with Chat Bot in the #shoutbox channel primarily unless the topic of interest pertains to another specific channel. Consistently using the bot in an inappropriate channel will result in a warning, kick, or ban from our Discord server.

Welcome back Chat Bot!

Good afternoon everyone!
Today I'm here to announce the Shotbow Easter Event! This event consists out of several cosmetics and an ingame event!


The easter bunny needs your help! He lost all his big green easter eggs! He's inside the lobby and he's very sad and angry! He wants his eggs back. Can you help him? I recommend giving him a visit in the lobby! I heard he's somewhere near the Ghostcraft sign?
After visiting this poor bunny, I recommend searching for this egg! The bunny will reward you gratefully! You can find those eggs on several Shotbowservers! Lobby, Smash and 2 other games!
If you find all the eggs, you will get a bonus amount of XP! Trust me, it's worth
Oh and if you are the first person to find all eggs, post a screenshot of the output from /easter on this thread! The first person who succesfully found all eggs will receive a free Gold Rank on Shotbow! That's cool right?


There's a new Easter Bunny Pet! And it's obviously really cute. Actually, it's not just one pet! When you right click this pet, the bunny will start an Easter celebration ceremony with some friends! And at the end of this ceremony, it will be raining eggs! Curious? Take a look ingame or buy it on the Shotbow Shop!
Why use a particle trail, when you can put an easter egg out of particles on your head? They come in 9 different types and they're totally awesome! Next to those eggs we also created a cherry blossom icon! It's fabulicious! Want to get it? Take a look at the Shotbow Shop!



I think that's it for now! A big shoutout to all the staff who helped making the cosmetics, the PR, the translators and those I forgot!



Egg Hunt Update:
The Egg Hunt has temporarily been disabled due to issues. We hope to bring it back online soon.
