Ridleybank is a suburb of Malton, located in the city centre. Before the outbreak, the suburb was notable for the large population of medical students studying at Adalbert and Eugene General Hospitals, two of the seven hospitals in the area. These were built largely to treat the victims of Orange Lung Disease, Melted Toes Syndrome, and Ear-Rot caused by pollution from the local factories, which produced chemicals for Necrotech.
Ridleybank is also within easy reach of several attractions in the neighboring suburbs including malls, mansions, Floyde Stadium, and the zoo.
The RRF's detailed history of the suburb of Ridleybank can be found here.

General Information
Ridleybank has become one of the most infamous suburbs in Malton, largely due to the efforts of The Ridleybank Resistance Front. It, naturally, forms the heart of Greater Ridleybank.
In September 2005, Petrosjko was inspired to rally a horde to Ridleybank, which quickly grew into one of the most effective the game has seen.
As one of the core tenets of the Ridleybank Resistance Front, Ridleybank is considered a great zombie homeland. Most humans in the area are seen as an invading force and are quickly eliminated.
By all accounts, Ridleybank remained an extremely dangerous place for a survivor to be. From time to time, survivor groups will lay siege to one or more buildings in an attempt to reclaim the suburb but to date all attempts have met with failure.
Also making a home in Ridleybank are the offices of the Malton Herald & Sun, the official newspaper of the RRF.

October 12th
At least 92 zombies on the streets. Breakdown of the Tactical Resource Points:
- 1 NecroTech: ruined.
- 2 Police depts & 4 factories: without power.
- 7 hospitals: 1 powered, 3 not, 3 ruined.
Additionally, a single powered building was seen, and many of the remaining buildings are in ruins. With less than half of the TRPs ruined, signs of power (i.e. conflict in the suburb) and apparently less than 150 zombies, this fits the given description of Dangerous. --Funt Solo QT

September 21st
Approximately 37 zombies outdoors, with a further 11 counted indoors (10 in the Blackmore Building), makes for an estimated 48 zombies total in the suburb. Given the mass ruination of the area (only 2 hospitals out of the 14 Tactical Resource Points are not ruined), this appears to qualify as a Ghost Town, given the danger level descriptions. As such, and without any other evidence to go on, I'm changing the danger level. --Funt Solo QT 22:54, 21 September 2008 (BST)
This is not a ghost town. Shoppers from the newly opened Nichols Mall are moving into the area and making it look nice. Also, the group of zombies in and around Blackmore qualify as a horde. --Ronny Billcraft 01:38, 22 September 2008 (BST)
September 14th
Most buildings ruined, lots of zombies, the usual stuff. However, to ratify its place in the pro-survivor grouplist in Ridleybank, the Umbrella Corporation has send a small strike force, which managed to retake and lighten up the Blackmore Building. The barricades are holding, ...for now. *in await of the inevitable barhar*--MisterGame 23:11, 13 September 2008 (BST)
September 6th
External Military: "... crossing Ridleybank now, can see about sixty down there ... a few big groups, but they're spread out ... a few buildings with lights on ... heavy structural damage ..." Laitaine 04:33, 6 September 2008 (BST)

Survivors have started to fight in Ridleybank, though there is no real leadership. Headway is being made and the Blackmoore building recently returned to survivor hands. Though it's doubtful how long it will last. USAI (AWOL) Officer Conrad
Things to do while in Ridleybank!
- Get Eaten! - When you've "been there, done that" when passing through Ridleybank, your friendly neighborhood zombies are more than willing to help you enjoy the joys that the 'bank holds for the undead. The RRF and local ferals guarantee that if you're not dead by the third hour outside, then the brainz are on us! Drop dead into Ridleybank today!
- Run Around and/or Scream! - Sure, any survivor can walk into Ridleybank and get eaten by zombies, but a real survivor can avoid all that by running around and screaming. Yes, the classic technique of running around and screaming has been passed down through the ages by our forefathers to us, so why not use it? Come on down to Ridleybank and run around for a bit! Screaming is optional. And if you can't come up with a good reason to scream the RRF will find one for you.
- Hang Out! - Reel in the spa of our many safehouses and relax from all the stress in Malton. Drinks are in the fridge, free massages are available. However, the recent return of the RRF has installed bloodbaths in many safehouses, please check with your masseur before relaxing.
- Run Around and Sing! - Make sure you stay in shape by running through the suburb and knocking down a couple of zombies. If you want to show off your talents, feel free to stop by in one of our singing clubs!
- Kill some Zombies - There are always zombies in Ridleybank, so come, seize the XP, waste the AP, and introduce them to your loaded shotgun or your revive syringe. Feel free to do so, and when you see the RRF, keep in mind they want your shotguns more than your revive syringes.
Barricade Plan
Like most suburbs, Ridleybank has a survivor-based barricade plan. However, it must be noted for the sake of neutrality, that the RRF has its own building code, which it seeks to enforce. Both survivor and RRF barricade policies are listed below.
RRF Building Code
Ord 1.1 Barricades
- Barricades and the building of such are forbidden in Ridleybank, in Barhahville, and Stanbury Village due to the various negative effects of these constructions. Much like meth labs, barricades lower property values, obstruct emergency access, present an eyesore, and violate fire codes. As such, barricades are illegal and will be removed as discovered.
Ord 1.1a Fines
- Barricades, Being present in a building with: One Brain per adult. People under the age of two levels will not be fined but given a stern Graaahing on the perils of barricade-abuse, and offered an opportunity to become a naturalized citizen of Ridleybank.
- Barricades, Building of: One Brain per adult. Violators capable of building barricades will be always eaten first, since they are violating Ridleybank's only building ordinance by their mere existance. Remember, barricades don't annoy zombies, barricade-builders annoy zombies.
- Barricades, Being a: Immediate destruction. If the barricade is found in possession of Brains, then the barricade will be fined one Brain and given a stern graaahing on shaping up and adding to the community, possibly as a gazebo.
Survivor Plans
Since there are rare instances of increased human presence in the suburb, The Cannonball Crew has created a plan based on the Uniform Barricading Policy. According to the policy, "high value" targets such as hospitals and police departments should generally be kept at VSB (Very Strongly Barricaded) in order to give low-level survivors access. However, if one of these buildings is attacked, survivors can raise the barricades until the attack is over. Eugene General Hospital and the Blackmore Building are exceptions to this rule.
It should be noted that this neighborhood is claimed as the home of the largest zombie horde in the game. Barricade levels cannot be guaranteed and low-level survivors are advised to stay out of the area.
