Suburb Number: 57 |
Roftwood is a suburb of Malton located just east of the city center. It contains Hildebrand Mall as well as plenty of Tactical Resource Points (TRPs).
It lies within District SE-2. Its proximity to Ridleybank, immediately northwest, can make it hostile territory for survivors.
But the presence of Hildebrand Mall, Woodroffe Mall in Tollyton to the south, Tynte Mall north in Pimbank, and Nichols Mall in Stanbury Village to the west, make it easy to defend and rebuild during and after zombie incursions.

Visitor's Guide
Welcome to Roftwood!
Greetings visitor, Roftwood has much to offer and we hope you enjoy your visit and hope you stay with us!
The bulk of the activity in Roftwood takes place at and around Hildebrand Mall. There you can find vital supplies such as firearms, ammunition, first-aid kits and generators. You can also socialize with fellow survivors over an ice-cold beer.
If you are injured, you are advised to go to either Eligius General Hospital (65,54) or St. Ethelbert's Hospital (66,50), where you'll receive medical care from the doctors and surgeons there. Scientists will be able to manufacture revivification syringes, access the NecroTech database and find other useful NecroTech equipment inside both the Herbert Building and the Greenhow Building. Due to the large number of buildings in Roftwood, every resource building is accessible via a free-running lane.
Generators are best found at Hildebrand Mall's hardware store but there are also four factories in the Roftwood that may be searched. Fuel and spray cans are more readily available at the four auto repair shops, the main one of which is Maiden Auto Repair, located just one block northwest of the Herbert Building. Flak jackets and ammunition can be found at Rawlins Row Police Dept, adjacent to the southeast corner of the mall.
If you prefer somewhere quieter than the bustle of Hildebrand Mall and its surrounding complex then you should visit western Roftwood. Western Roftwood serves as Roftwood's defense line due to the three police departments located there, which are optimally spaced from each other. Western Roftwood also has The Greenhow Building (an NT facility) and has an easy access to Nichols Mall in the adjacent suburb of Stanbury Village. Note that the area is usually heavily barricaded and can only be accessed by free running and via specific safehouses and entryways/entry points (EPs) such as Blunden Row School (61,50) and the Whale Building (60,53).
Connecting western Roftwood to the mall complex are the Summer Building (64,55), the Wrench Hotel (64,56) and factory (63,55). The Summer Building holds Roftwood's mobile phone mast and therefore is always kept Extremely Heavily Barricaded, however the factory serves as an entryway and should always be accessible by survivors. The Wrench Hotel is the only hotel in Roftwood. It is close to the major buildings in the suburb (only two steps away from Hildebrand Mall and Eligius General Hospital). But since it is not a Tactical Resource Point, it is a low-priority target for zombies, and thus a safe and convenient place in which to spend the night.
Revive Points
Roftwood has two NecroTech (NT) facilities, the Herbert NT Building (32,51) in the northwest of the suburb and the Greenhow NT Building (68,54) in the east.

Roftwood doesn't have any cemeteries within its boundaries. There are two monitored revive points (RPs) in Roftwood: Turpin Road (61,51), which is one block west of the Greenhow NT Building, and Swansborough Park (68,53), one block north of the Herbert NT facility. Swansborough is generally where the quickest revives may be had.
Radio and Cell Phone
Cell Service. The transmitter for the Maltel cell-phone network is located in the Summer Building, which should be kept powered and at EHB at all times.
Roftwood Radio. Survivors in Roftwood are welcome and encouraged to use radio to transmit information of importance to survivor welfare. Typical topics include (but are not limited to): the whereabouts of zeds, locations where break-ins have occurred, and the location of victims requiring first aid assistance.
The frequency to tune to when in Roftwood are 26.03MHz
Keeping radio transmitters operational in the district is a priority due to the instability in the region (because of the regular attacks from the zed capital to the northwest, Ridleybank).

Historical Events
The Last Stand at St. Ethelbert's Hospital, January 10th 2008 - January 31st 2008 - The Last Stand of Roftwood was a battle between the Malton Medical Staff (MMS), Upper Left Corner (ULC), and the remaining survivors of Roftwood against the RRF and ferals. After systematically leveling the suburb building by building, the final building left was St. Ethelbert's Hospital, which came to be known as "That damn hospital that just won't fall". Though the battle was small in scope, the humourous conversation of the MMS and ULC made the event memorable.
Zombie Debates, November 15th 2006 - Mar 19th 2007 - In spacious Quartly Library, zombies and survivors debated matters such as zombie spies, strike teams and even love. After months of discussion, the zambahz had taught the harmanz about barhah, and fought for their safe-house like any survivor should.
Ricky Martin Concert, January 21st 2006 - The first ever Ricky Martin concert in Malton took place. The concert began on January 21st at Floyd Stadium in Barrville, according to several fliers and advertisements pasted on various buildings.
The Survivor Zone
Roftwood is an eastern district in the Survivor Security Zone (SSZ) and is one of the main suburbs within the Zone. The SSZ is an area incorporating most of central Malton. It was setup to ensure communication was established between groups of survivors living in the region. It was hoped that they might come together to coordinate plans of attack.
Additional Notable Locations
- The Wotton Building (69,54) - entry point.
- Quartly Library (66,52) - Home of the Quartly Study Group.
- St. Ethelbert's Hospital (Roftwood) (66,50) - entry point maintained by the Malton Medical Staff.

The Roftwood Barricade Plan is Uniform Barricading Policy (UBP) Compliant. It has a variety of VSB entry points and resource buildings, for easy access as well as new player spawning. It also has a number of strategically placed EHB safehouses. Please try and rectify any breeches in the barricade plan you encounter (raising and lowering barricades appropriately) unless otherwise indicated because of attack. For details, refer to the Roftwood Barricade Plan or Talk:Roftwood Barricade Plan.
