The MOB has been through, but has moved on, and survivors have already reclaimed the suburb. All but a few darks plus two other bldgs are repaired; most TRPs are lit; and their is a good survivor presence. Not many zombies remain, though there are still many people waiting for revives in the RPs. --Solodog 20:48, 12 April 2011 (BST)

It looks like all buildings are repaired and most are lit. I had to go to south Ruddlebank or west Spicer Hills to find a ruined building. Survivors were in small groups indoors watching the new snow fall outside of the barricades. I did not see any zombies, but the weather kept me inside for most of my exploration of the suburb. --Enrico marconi 15:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Suburb was overrun a couple days ago. It looks like all buildings are ruined, I saw no other survivors. There was a sparse population of single zombies standing about; it appears the main horde has moved on. Large clusters of zombies stand in the cemeteries.--Enrico Marconi 09:51, 22 November 2010

- Buildings: many buildings are barricaded in the range of VS-to-EHB; there are also a few buildings only secured by closed doors. To the eastern-most half of the suburb, particularly the south-eastern quarter, most buildings are ransacked or nearly unbarricaded. Staying overnight (logging off) in resource buildings is not advised as a general rule; in particular if there is no sustained maintenance from a group of dedicated survivors for the building in question.
- Also, Miskatonic University has been reopened.
- Zombie Activity: light-to-moderate, with small hordes of 5-6.
- Survivor Strength: the suburb is currently categorized by small numbers of seemingly unaffiliated survivors strung throughout inhabitable buildings. The Reformed Old Arkham Republic (ROAR) is the largest and most organized survivor contingent active in the area. Those in need of assistance should contact ROAR.
- Other: a Crazy Tourist notes that Tikhon Medical — which operates out of Ruddlebank — no longer offers revival service at Loweth Alley, but instead at Greenleaves Alley [11,88]. (2 N, 1 W)
