Tapton is a suburb of Malton, located in the south of the city. It has always been fairly unremarkable, save for the annual Tapton Parade and for having the 3rd most populace of all suburbs. There are rumours that the zombies still celebrate this tradition, shambling in step up and down the suburb's central belt of roads while waving marrow-dripping femurs.
Curious survivors may wish to visit the historic Merewether Monument.
When not overrun by zombies, St. Emelia's Church hosts a karaoke night every Saturday. So far, none of the neighbours have complained.
Suburb Overview
Western Tapton: The West is usually rather sparsely populated with survivors, probably because it lacks a police station and is a fair distance from any mall. The Chaffin Building (Tapton's only NecroTech facility) is a popular target of the walking dead, as are St. Matheos's Hospital and Sherston Grove Fire Station. 87H is the chief zombie presence in this area. By travelling Southeast from Western Tapton you will come across Pole Mall. It is recommended for new players starting on the Eastern side of Tapton to loot it. Note: Check the wiki pages of the areas and local radios to make sure it's clear first as West Tapton has been known to be dangerous.
Central Tapton: Due to a relative absence of resource buildings and an abundance of open land, the numbers of undead in the central region of the suburb are usually moderate, though Swithun General Hospital is often subjected to zombie assaults. The good people of Phil's Freaks have been known to entertain deanimated guests at the Bainton Arms, so passersby needn't panic if they happen upon a lone zombie sipping an ale.
Eastern Tapton: The location of Haag Plaza Police Department (the suburb's only PD), as well as its proximity to Pole Mall, makes Eastern Tapton an attractive neighborhood for survivor groups. Alpha Elite Squad, the Renegades, and Ständige Vertretung all maintain a presence in the region. Of course, the large supply of brains in the area often attracts zombie hordes as well. Another hotspot for zombie hordes is the Whittaker Boulevard Fire Station of which still holds a few key items in Taptons's rundown town.
Revive Points: Rhodes Park [41, 73] has reopened for business and is now an active revive point in Western Tapton. Dix Place [46, 75] is still Tapton's main revive point though and service there will usually be quicker and more consistent. A zombie's best chance for revivification is to post a request at http://tinyurl.com/zwor5 . Check the "News" section below for updates.
Ambience: Tapton ist mostly populated by people of german origin. So the ambience of this suburb is often rather german. To the thrill living in a dark city overruned by zombies, add the claustrophobic atmosphere of Germany in the 30ths and 40ths of the 20th century or the sinister communist style in eastern Germany in the 50-80ths of the 20th century. Hear people more barking than speaking, watch marching columns in the streets and see evil guises wearing black coats raiding houses and dragging people away. And be prepared to be accused for something without even knowing the type of crime. You will never knew, what you should fear more: The zeds or the survivors. Paranoia will be essential for surviving in Tapton.
