On March 14, 2025 – the day Urban Dead’s servers fell silent after 20 years – over 80 members of the Ridleybank Resistance Front (RRF) converged on Moggridge Place Police Department. This crumbling precinct, where the RRF first united in 2005, became the stage for one last party, raising a final toast to all those gathered and all those who came before:
“The End of Days has come. Do not be sad because it happened, but rather joyful, because you were a part of the greatest group that ever shambled in Urban Dead. For almost two decades, we reigned supreme in Malton and YOU were a major part of it.
If may have been lost in the shuffle of ZANZ!NG AN ZING!NG, so here is my speech to you all:
Welcome home, Ridleys. We’re back where we started. It is a sad day for us all, but also a glorious one, so it is wonderful to see you all gathered here at our ancestral home of Moggridge Place PD. Before me I see the War Council, Constables and DoHS. I see veterans of the Praetorian Guard and Groups 1, 2 and 0. I see Packers and Team America and AU10. I see GMT Breakfast Club and I do believe I spy old Barhah Brigade standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Gore Corps. Would have thought?
I would. Because being a member of our glorious Front, being a Ridley, is more than being a zombie among zombies. It is to be part of a family and, above all else, a family stand together and defend their home. That is what we have all done together. We Ridleys and also our friends and allies who also believed in Petrosjko’s dream of a free Ridleybank. Like Minions of the Apocalypse and LUE and Shacknews. Feral Undead, Fort Feral Zombies, Undeadites. Eastonwood Ferals and NPL.
We are here to honour our RRF, but also zombiekind itself. There have been dark times for the Homeland, for zombiekind and for Ridleybank. Times when it felt as though we would never be rid of the breather menace. But we came through them together. We have been bloodied, sometimes we have fallen, but we have never bowed and have never broken, because we have always ?risen and known the Homeland is ours. Now the end of days has come and it’s time for us all to embrace True Death
You may feel sad, but this is not a day for sorrow, but rather one for joy. Because today, in our last moments, at the end of the world, we go into the long night together, knowing that Ridleybank is free and always shall be, because of you, Ridleys I am proud of you as a Papa. I am proud to be one of you as a Ridley. And I am proud of our horde, of our spirit and of our Homeland. It has been a privilege to serve alongside you and it shall be a privilege to pass into the True Death with you.
Now, please, return me to Barhah so I can embrace that True Death as a zambah should.” — Lord Moloch
