Howdy! Does anybody remember the first real Fallout Online game that ever got released? And by the fans? The FOnline Engine? That spawned dozens and dozens of spin-off servers throughout the years? Well, it's still going strong! And looking for new players!
The latest and most active/consistently updated one is FOnline: 2258! Set in the year 2258 and following the official canon/timeline, it acts as a sequel to Fallout 2 and a prequel to Fallout 3/FNV. It's more of a Fallout 2.5 Online that mixes in a lot of the cut content from Fallout 1/2 and Van Buren (Think Mutated Raccoons and Trent Burham). The devs recently wiped early June 2025 and even brought in Las Vegas! Before Mr. House comes out of hiding! They're working on showing off The Strip and the rival gangs, plus mixing in a lot of MMORPG elements like Player Ran Casinos and a way better economy/crafting system. It's heavily inspired by Ultima Online and its MMO features, including Bulk Order deeds and the Token system.
[https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline#2258]
The story revolves around Vault 24 and the end of life of their vault, unplanned, and being sent out in droves to an unforgiving, post-apocalyptic America already basking in the glory of all the other vault dwellers that came before you. You've got some big shoes to fill, kiddo... or do you? Good Natured is just a starting trait. But you are a Vault Dweller, after all! A pre-war indoctrinated and raised saint tamed to make the world a better place! Right? Right?... Regardless! The people, the cities, the towns, and the NPCs will remember your name... AND your actions! FOnline 2258 is designed around the idea of a more living, breathing, and active post-apocalyptic wasteland. NPCs walk around, have conversations, explore the world, and can even join you on your adventures as a PERMANENT living, breathing, A.I travelling companion! Oh, boy! Never be lonely in a lonely world again! With FOnline 2258! It's Fallout 2.5 ONLINE!
Overall, the whole server is looking great and has been the #1 FOnline Server since June! If you guys are interested in playing Fallout 2.5 but Online and with a friendly community come check us out! The website, wiki, and forum isn't finished yet but the Discord is very active! The game is a continuation of other abandoned/retired servers like 2238, Reloaded, AfterTimes, Fallout Nevada, etc. The current dev team is a diverse team of experienced, previous ex-FOnline /game developers who recently came together to help make FOnline great again! It's Fallout Online, the way it was meant to be played - made by fans - for the fans! FOnline 2258! Legacy of the Vault Dweller! If it ain't canon, it ain't in game.

[Attached are some random screenshots and the very beginning of the game after character creation. Players start off inside of Vault 24 as the chaos unfolds. Very exciting stuff, then they can choose to play the Tutorial, Continue the Intro, or choose their own advanced star adventures. Once players reach Level 2 the Main Campaign begins!]
