whats 2238?

[Sharpy]

so was 2238 a server and if so whats the difference in reloaded and 2238?!!

[KestreL]

2238 was a server that died.

As it died it released the Server data so people could use freely to make their own servers. Reloaded is basicly 2238 with alot of updates from Developers. Reloaded is in everyway better than FO:2238

Yeah 2238 had 6 official seasons, with the last two seasons running 1.5 years each. Devs team is called "Rotators".

Reloaded is like continuation of 2238, started right after 2238 ended. Season 1 was 1.75 years (i think), and now we just started season 2, with solid plans for season 3 already being worked on.

Example: In 2238, only 1 tent per character. 10 tents per character in Reloaded. (Or oops, was that late in 2238? Maybe) Many many excellent changes since then.

To be honest the big tent update has been made on the server 2238. At the end of the server it's true, but Rotators made it.

Reloaded is very similar to 2238, but a much more polished 2238.
A simple example: on 2238 you needed 2000 junks to build a Scrapheap base; on Reloaded it's 350 and you find twice more junks on encounter.

Another example: on 2238 on TC there was only Avenger, Rocket Launcher and Gatling Laser (few Sniper and sneakers with various weapons). On reloaded you have Pancor, XL, Snipers, H&K P90c too

By the way on Reloaded you can see some high tier stuff, like APA, Vindicator, Bozar.
1 year before the end of 2238 the tipical fight was Metal Armor MK2 and Avenger (or LSW), and there was no TC timer.

There was some good updates on 2238 near the end after the "infamous" angry cow update, like tent update, containers update and NCR Army (so CAMK2) update, but I must admit devs of Reloaded made a big work to make it better.

Some folks might think that 2238 was shit but they would be wrong. Anyone who was present from the beginning can tell you how far the dev's brought it from it's original state. Reloaded is a continuation and it certainly does improve on alot but don't forget that 2238 laid alot of the ground work for things that came after.

Unfortunately life and frustration takes it's toll and after a while the dev's had to move on. The constant complaining and undeserved sense of entitlement from the community didn't help much either. As someone who was there from 2009 till the end I will always appreciate the dev's for their accomplishments and for letting all of us undeserving bastards run amok in their little sandbox of chaos.

Ask Kilgore about 2238 and he can tell you plenty as he was one of the more vocal community members. Unlike most though he actually did something about all the things he disagreed with and now we have Reloaded. Hats off to him and everyone else involved with this project.

If you have enough time read 2238 forum archives, especially News and Announcements for changelogs.
