First Look at Pirate101's Marleybone With Screenshots

The Pirate101 Test Realm is live, and pirates are in full swing with stopping the Armada in its war against Marleybone... a war that Marleybone is losing. I sailed around and gathered information and pictures - you'll want to see them!

Impending Doom

Marleybone isn't at its best. The war is taking its toll. And, to get Catbeard's piece of the map, you've got to follow him to Marleybone, but not because he's fled, because he's been taken by the Armada as a prisoner of war arrested by Marleybone for High Treason and 500 counts of smuggling (Thank you, Alric Ravensinger, for the correction).

In this first photo, you see the beautiful skyway, with Big Ben way off in the distance. This was the clocktower in the teaser image. It is surrounded with other buildings. This is Wizard101's Marleybone.

Marleybone in Pirate101 is a single skyway, with no arrows at all. That being said, it has a whopping four stormgates, only one of which is labelled MooShu, and that's the one you come from.

Natural Beauty

No, not the dogs! This shot shows just how pretty Marleybone is, with its twisting and winding streets, bridges, and squares, and houses and artifacts.

This isn't actually connected to the bridge that we saw in the teaser image; that's something separate.

From Isle of Dogs to Fun Town Pier

Fun Town? Who wouldn't want to go there? Well, after the smog of the Isle of Dogs (beautiful - take a look at that first image), we could use a little time off. These small houses next to the beach and pier are a perfect getaway from the Armada... or so it seems. There are some rather interesting cats here as well.

As Seen in the Teaser

This is the lighthouse we saw in the teaser. The edge of this island, still the Fun Town Pier, is, or was, inhabited by clockworks. It seems to be one of the last places you quest. Is Rooke here? Or Bishop, maybe? You also see Beachhead in the background, the Armada headquarters in Marleybone.

Also, remember the concept art of the shattered glass dome? If not, look HERE. Anyway, this looks like the place. Up some stair in Fun Town! Sounds like a good time, right?

The Pier

Isn't it great? The pier itself has a Ferris Wheel, and is off to the right, but this beach leads to the town and storefront up above, under the starry sky.

The Armada's Great Defense

This is a photo of Beachhead, the Armada headquarters in Marleybone. Here are a variety of instances. This is a real trap, as the island itself fires at you and damages your ship, but you can't fire back. With all of the surrounding Armada ships, there's a high risk of getting boarded.

This island, or stronghold, rather, is armed with tanks, guns, and all sorts of defense mechanisms. It appears to be where we encounter Bishop. I'm guessing that this is one of the more important locations.

Location Predictions

I've gotten some names, and I'm not sure where they fit, but here are some of the interesting ones: Bounty Hunter's Office, Cannery, Courtroom, Crokogarden, Meowzer's Lair, Scrooge's House, Snail and Newt Tavern, Underdog Lair, War Room, Central Core, Engineering, Main Battery, Main Battery Hold, Lighthouse, Glass House, Boardwalk, HMS Victory, Teapot Tempest.

This is one of the Taverns.

Plans

I've decided to look around a bit in the Test Realm, without spoiling the content. What will you be doing?

Thanks for reading and see you in the Spiral!
