Roftwood is a suburb of Malton and located in the east of the city center. It contains Hildebrand Mall as well a rich and abundant mix of Resource Buildings. It lies within District SE-2. Its proximity to Ridleybank (immediately northwest) does make it somewhat hostile territory, but the presence of Hildebrand Mall within the suburb, Woodroffe Mall in Tollyton to the south, and a healthy portion of Tactical Resource Points make it easy to defend and rebuild during and after incursions.

Visitor's Guide

AquaCompass.jpg

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, where you can find vital supplies such as firearms, ammunition, first-aid kits and generators and also hang out with fellow survivors with an ice-cold beer.

If you are injured, you are advised to go to either Eligius General Hospital or St. Ethelbert's Hospital, 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 can also be searched. Fuel and spray cans are more available at 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 such as Blunden Row School and the Whale Building.

Connecting west Roftwood to the Mall complex are the Summer Building, the Wrench Hotel and an abandoned factory. The Summer Building holds Roftwood's mobile phone mast and therefore is always kept 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 it is not a Tactical Resource Point, making it a low-priority target for zombies, and a safe and convenient place to spend the night in.

We hope you enjoy your stay!

Notable Events

AquaNews.jpg

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 remaining survivors of Roftwood against the RRF and ferals. After systematically levelling 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 wont fall". Though the battle was small, the conversation and comedy of the MMS and ULC was what made the event memorable.

Zombie Lectures

  • November 15th 2006 - Mar 19th 2007

In the spacious Quartly Library zombies and survivors debated things like zombie spies, strike teams and even love. After months of discussion, the zambahz had taught the harmanz about barhah, and fought for their safehouse 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 sprayed on various buildings.

Barricade Plan & Discussion

The Roftwood Barricade Plan is stabilized and is non-UBP compliant . Due to Roftwood's proximity to Ridleybank, overbarricading is common in practice, and some other special cases, such as dark EPs, are commonplace.

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 dedicated pages.
