NecroWatch reported in from the Button Building today. A recent NecroNet scan had revealed that there were 135 zombies within scanning range of the facility. Of these numbers, 16 zombies were standing at the Dickin Park revive point, 14 zombies were at the Button facility itself, while over in Spicer Hills were the majority of the detected zombies. Of these zombies there were 22 zombies at Hopping Road PD, 18 zombies at Stockman Walk PD, 12 zombies at Barens Road Fire Station, 8 zombies at Club Peerless, and 5 zombies were at St. Swithun's Church, the Pippard Building, the Gyllet Building, and the Coat Avenue revive point. Of the remaining detected zombies, they numbered 4 or less at all other locations. --Mobius

No report during this month. The suburb was considered Safe with fully powered and operational buildings, and almost no zombie. Perhaps it was so quiet no one bother to report anything.

The entire SW quadrant of OArk has been torn to pieces, presumably by zombies spilling over from bordering NewArk... Throughout the rest of the borough, the 'cades are up on most buildings -- although they're in better shape the further east you travel. --WanYao 22:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Suburb is still relatively quiet. I only saw 3 zeds outside when I went out, so the 'burb is still safe. The McKay PD is unpowered, but other than that there's not much going on out here. --Anarchy-X 12:20 PM 9 Nov. 08 (MST)

Having spent the last week destroying generators and dispensing ketchup samples to locals, an obscure death cult -- XIII -- celebrated the eve of 13th day of September by inflicting several severe cases of triskaidekaphobia upon the inhabitants of the McKay Lane Police Department and St Luke's Hospital. Shortly thereafter, amidst jubilant cries of "Ia! Ia!", festive pinatas were installed at these locations.[1][2] --WanYao 12:26, 13 September 2008 (BST)

Suburb essentially ruined. Both PDs and all other resource buildings except Button and Emma in ruins, long lines at RPs, surrounding suburbs in trouble and seemingly in little position to help. Few large groups of zombies, but many groups of 2-6 and more squatting inside buildings. An eerie quiet settles on the streets, punctuated only by an occasional chorus of feeding groans as the zeds find a few last hidden survivors. -- WhatZombies

Serious fighting throughout the Western half of the suburb. St. Humphrey's, St. Luke's, Newmarch, Edbrook, and a number of other buildings all in ruins. Zombies inside McKay. Many ferals roaming, some groups of 6-10. Long lines at the revive points. No longer safe. -- WhatZombies

Don't know if you could class this as a green suburb at the moment, couple of zombie fulled ruins and not much power. There arn't high numbers of z's, mostly smaller groups and singles. Stock up and start heading up fixing the north. --Bufster007 07:33, 22 July 2008 (BST)

The suburb is fairly safe. Briefly, wandering I only found one group of 3 zombies. The entrance to get inside the free running chain is south east at Club Yeeles. The Free Running chain is secure and leads to police staions. This is a safe place to be (as long as you're inside)! Lynx992 06:20, 2 June 2008 01:19,2 June 2008 (EST)

Working on getting the barricades at entry points to proper levels. Got Emma back to VSB+2 so that's one resource building freed up. I'll focus on resource buildings that should be EP's as long as it's quiet right now. Stepped out in the streets for a quick look and didn't see and Zeds away from the Cemetery.

Areas of Old Arkham are way too overbarricaded. It's even getting hard to find entry points in surrounding blocks. Key resources are being denied survivors because of this. If you're looking to resupply from Spicer Hills or surrounding areas, be warned. Sundown82 01:26, 23 April 2008 (BST)

Mckay Lane PD has been broken open by a medium sized group of zeds with one survivor currently left inside. The rest of the suburb seems relatively safe. I've seen no other zombies apart from the at the PD and almost everywhere is lit. --Polymphus 10:37, 11 April 2008 (BST)

SW and Central areas of Old Arkham have many barricaded buildings. The few ruined buildings are unoccupied and easily repaired. Several resource buildings are open for business. The largest group of zombies (10) were seen patiently waiting for revives at the cemetary. Upgrading status. --DaytonDead 05:08, 1 April 2008 (BST)
Local NecroTech workers have observed large numbers of the Mrh? Cows at Old Arkham's cemeteries which possess a curious mix of survivor and zombie skills -- particularly an uncanny athletic agility, as well as an uncommon aptitude for handling fire axes. Until further data on these specimens can be collected and disseminated, Necrotech officials are advising their workers, payrolled and freelance alike, to exercise caution while reviving -- and to obtain a software version upgrade on all DNA Extractors, in order to ensure maximal scanning reliability while working in the field. --WanYao 05:51, 1 April 2008 (BST)

There are currentaly 96 zombies in the Old Arkham area. An additonal 25 are at Cemetery 13,94 waiting to be revived. Sadly McKay Lane Police Department, Edgcumbe Drive Fire Station, and St. Alda's Church have been destroyed by the zombie hordes. --99HeadHunter99 4:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Minor break-ins have taken place at St. Luke's Hospital, Club Hunn and the Edbrook Building. And with the Dead still thinking it's hallowe'en, knocking on doors and scaring the locals in neighboring suburbs, some residents are beginning to feel a tad anxious.... --WanYao 04:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

The light zombie hordes around Old Arkham have been on the offence attacking Emma General Hospital (2 zeds inside the building), Club Hunn and the Newmarch Square Fire Station. Haven't explored too far from that area but it looks like a small-scattered force. A little contribution to their destruction would be appreciated and a little resistance is always welcome. --Machinany gun 13:31, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Scouted about 75% of the suburb, only missed the NW section. In this entire area there were only about half a dozen standing zombies, and probably about the same number of dead bodies. The barricades are strong all over and lots of buildings are powered. Inside the buildings, survivor numbers are quite strong for a remote suburb like Old Arkham. About the most serious problem survivors seem to be facing is rampant non-compliance with the posted barricade plan.... --WanYao 15:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

- Its not quite Green. Some Zombies (6 alive, 30 bodies) are currently taking McKays Police Station... Corwin Amberly 04:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
December 21st
Biggest horde I saw was 7 zombies at the McKay Lane Police Department; however it was EHB. There were about 25-35 survivors in the area. Pretty quiet, if not at the verge of boring. From waht I saw (which was about 75% of town) about 1/3 of buildings have power. No building is ransacked. I would put up to Green. ChiaPet
The only real threat is wandering zeds preying on those stuck outside by the over-barricade'rs. Please pay more attention to the barricade plan at the bottom of the page; it could save people quite a bit of trouble. --Sorator 01:49, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

The eastern half of Old Arkham appears ruined; Emma General and St Humphery's Hospitals are also down; information on McKay Lane PD and St. Luke's Hospital is not available. Many buildings in the NW are still intact, but don't expect that to last. And though some locals are performing suicide-revives and taking DIRT:NAPs to get survivors back breathing, those seeking a fast revive may wish to travel out-of-suburb for the shortest wait times. --WanYao 13:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Sporadic break-ins have been taking place in west-central Old Arkham over the last few days. Emma General Hospital and McKay Lane PD have been broken into, but are currently back in survivor hands. A previously unknown zombie group, The Arkham Asylum Avengers, have been seen involved in these attacks. Only time will tell whether this new horde is here to stay, or whether they're just another in the long line of transients and other undesirables attracted to Arkham by its rich history and colourful lore. --WanYao 12:15, 11 August 2007 (BST)

The suburb is currently lacking revivification. Several buildings remain ransacked, for there's a lack of zombie hunters in the suburb. Survivors are suggested to evacuate the area until a strong survivor group moves in and helps retake the Old Arkham.

Merry New Year green suburb! For the itchy, go zed hunting: amble over to the line along the south east where Old Arkham and Spicer Hills meet. For the meek, try Marven Mall in South Blythville. Of course if you enjoy head hunting, merely turn to your side so see what exposition flies fastest!

Changed the suburbs warning level to Safe (green) when my squad and I scouted around the area and hardly felt it was even close to the the "Dangerous Level" it had before. Zombies here are pathetic as of now, however a small war between ROAR and Iocaine is going on as noted below, however unless you are affiliated with either of these groups, don't even worry about it. - [Lt Bill Cohen]

the suburb is becoming known for the pleasant habit of war between its two largest groups: Reformed Old Arkham Republic and Iocaine Powder. PKing seems like the standard rule in this round-robin competition.
