It is one of the many Fonline Server.
Fonline:Reloaded is one of the two server that try to copy Fonline:2238 with a few changes.
Fonline:2238 was closed a few years ago and the code was released.
If you don't know Fonline, it is the main engine for the many Fallout MMORPG that you will find on the internet. It was released in 2009 if i am not wrong.
(Mostly based from Fo1-Fo2, with a few elements from FoT, FoNV, Van Buren and other new stuff)
If you don't know Fallout, why are you here ?
PS: My advice is to not go there if you want to keep a real-life. they could be quite addictive.

And who is this Fallout?
EDIT: Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I don't get it how they made Fallout into a MMORPG. I've noticed on their wiki that it features of the locations from both F1 and F2 and was so fascinated I decided I might try it out, if at least to visit all those locations. Do they feature some of the characters or similar quests to the single-player games? P. S. I really don't get how they managed to make it into a MMORPG...are there a lot of people playing it? You say there are more than FOnline: Reloaded; but I expect it's the best one?
Also, to what relation is the Fallout Online cancelled project with this?

The same relation as F2RP has with the next game in the series: none whatsoever. The cancelled FOOL from Interplay was an official installment legally entitled to Interplay that Bethesda underhandedly usurped from them, but the various FOnline games are fan projects, just like any "free server" separated from any other MMORPG's servers.

Essentially, Fonline is the engine, which is fan-made and open-source.
The Engine was made for the first (fan made) Fallout MMORPG (TLA if i am not wrong), but it could be used and is indeed used for other kind of MMORPG & solo games, not necessary Fallout related.
It features many improvements over the Fallout engine, like 3D models compatibility, choice between TB & RT, bigger maps (most fallout cities now have a single map), the ability to un-zoom widely, keyboard binding etc...
Currently there must be 5-10 Fallout MMORPG servers with their own gameworld, their own custom maps, their own rules. What could be said about one server could be wrong about another as they only share an engine and some modding tools. I know there is also a game set in feudal japan, with customs graphics (impressive ones)
Hexer's Van Buren project use the engine for a solo game.
As for Fonline2238, it included the whole Fo1-Fo2, and a lot of custom locations.
It was supposed to take place between Fo1-Fo2, with all the south conquered by NCR, got character from both games, for convenience, but different quests & dialogs.
Essentially, it is an MMO. Even if you could do many thing alone, most player end up in gangs, as gangs can take control of cities, to get reward.
When you controlled a town, you got access to a militia and enforce your law.
Some used that to enforce safe trade or roleplay project, some used that to tax the players who came to trade with npc, but most used their militia to free kill any new comer.
I am currently trying Ashes of Phoenix, that is made by some of my game mates, but i try to avoid spending too much time in it.
I don't know much about other servers.
About number of players by server, it range between 5 & 500 players depending on the server, the season and the hour.
I think the fonline 2238 playerbase was like 100-300.

Made a mistake (it's been years). It is set in Chinese, not in Japan. (anyway, it is still visually impressive and indeed using fonline engine)

A few months ago.
I miswrote, but it is clearly less than two years.
