We are a friendly, no pressure group, (of all levels) looking for adult, English speaking players, who play regularly, do missions and even chat.

Participation in research, events, and projects is expected, but not required.

We do not force any donations, and we never ask you to donate gold or dollars, but we do welcome them to help with co-op upgrades.

Mostly, we just want to have fun farming.

Check us out at

FRANKLY MY DEAR

and apply.

If you need help, send me an email

I sent you an invitation. We are a friendly, helpful bunch while still remaining somewhat competitive. You're welcome to give us a try and go elsewhere if you don't like us. We do have a lot of folks that will help you with questions.

Welcome to Ripper Street co-op, Derf

Hope you'll have a fun time with us!

You've found a home (yay!!), but I would like to make a general comment to newbies who face lots of rejections. Please take a moment before applying to any coop to see if you meet their requirements. Some are for grownups only, or require a specific language, or gold contributions, or to be at a certain level, for example. No one likes to reject applicants, we really don't. And it's disheartening for newbies to be rejected right out of the box.

We've asked repeatedly to allow coops to set the level a player needs to be to join, and if the player isn't at that level, they wouldn't be able to apply in the first place. Saves everyone time and frustration.

Once again, congratulations on finding a coop.Ripper Street is one of the best.

Good points, Artful :-)
We don't have many requirements and we do take newbies. Our only real requirement is communication in English. It's a pity there is not some "board" out there in the game where new folk can check out co-ops. Navigating stuff in game is so confusing, and we get told it over and over by our new folk. But yes Derf has a home and we do enjoy helping the new folk - just like you, Artful, out of the goodness of your heart, let S and A Farms come and help us that long time ago. I have not forgotten, and I'm still grateful.

@Bennet Drake (US1) Your mention of a "board" where new players could learn about how a coop works reminded me that at one time we did have something like that. A long time ago, a fantastic player named Larino who has since left the game had a training coop that was specifically for newbies to join and learn how a coop works. After they gained some experience, they could then move on in search of a cooperative home. It really helped a lot of players and I think it would be a good idea for someone with a lot of experience as a coop leader to do the same again.

Sometimes I feel like we're doing just that... lol... although we do have a fantastic core of loyal and wonderful Rippers, some new folk come, learn the ropes (we have lots of tutorials) and then get snatched up by the "super" co-ops, especially those new folks we get willing to spend some money. But that's OK

we hold our own anyway. And it's the ones who do stay that make the Ripper team a dream team! But yes that is a good idea, and we will always accept rookies in Ripper Street, because we were all rookies once, and I believe everyone deserves the best chance!

I found the link. Please note: This site hasn't been updated in years, and the game has changed a lot. But some tips may still be useful.

You are much too kind, BD! Hearts of Gold has an open door policy ... players can come and go as they please. We're very laid back. We have many players who return now and then when they need to just chill! Hugs!

Artful I did not know of that Special CoOp mentioned here - - For the record Our CoOp

Victory Ridge - Will admit Small farms that Have a low level count of 30 - With a special inclusion that offer lower count but a Rep score that points to regular play - That farm can be admitted- All research is finished and no one has to donate Gold unless it is there wish- Also note we phrase donation of dollars to be Help the CoOp that helps you- We have a come and go as you please clause that some members use as in "come relax Farm Free With Friends" - We tolerate Red light for a month and if your a loyal player and experience - Family - Urgent Medical - and or Pressures from life - Then the red light may remain longer- Also any boot that is related to those reasons is included with an instant rejoin submitted via text - We did sink the the bottom of Silver league When we changed to less ridged rules - However of late the CoOp has been in the top 10 CCgames - and we have a rank of 11 in the overall CoOp points and pushing for rank of 10th place. It is slow but the new way of relaxed play is gaining traction.
