First 
Interesting... I wonder which rules besides the weather? And where's the ninja hideout?
Fun toys and activities? Wonder what's in stock...

...Not really big for a construct. But look nice anyway.
Floating construct in the sky, awesome ^_^
And the toys and activities will be the new Boxes and Ninjas I guess...
Sounds like we can get some cool stuff in this construct if it is Sati just having fun without having to worry about the rules ^_^
I assume the insides of the buildings will be open to make it more "spacious" overall in the construct?

Size doesn't matter...
um... yeah.
A smaller construct would be good actually. More people in a smaller area = more phun.
Lots of water towers in there... wonder if that means anything?
*Hoping Rarebit gives us more bunus pics*
Thank you Rare! This looks great! Can't wait phor more! 
Oh, I get it. It's an excuse for Rare to not have to worry about the usual issues of level design and quality control. 
I wonder if pvp rules are added. Tight space if it is... I wonder if this construct will be looking at team PvE rather than PvP. Looks fun!

So...aesthetically, it's a cut out of Debir Court, Mara S area? That's cool
Can you give us an idea when we should look forward to it? chapt 10.3 or 11?

If it is being shown in the IRs now, it will be in the next Update which is in 2 weeks. Unless QA decide it is unfit to be implemented.

Um...
...Debir Court.
...Couldn't you just have put ninjas in Debir Court and go work on something else?

Interesting screen shot...

Thats what it said when I read it 
As for using the real mara, can you imagine how the PVP would turn out if everyone could open a Box that kept spwning NPCs that go up to level 100 and stay there for 3 hours 
Hmmm would have liked a bit more variety in the map making heck even if it took more updates to make. Those islands out in the random openness better be hyper-jump able onto. That's the first think I thought when seeing them.
That's the first think I thought when seeing them.Should be interesting. I'm glad they're using it as a seperate construct - adding npcs to debir court would just junk it up.
looks like a replacment pvp zone instead of mara c itself. Super Smash Bros. MxO style
Much like a Transformer or a pre-op walker of the street, there's more than meets the eye here. Rare will do good by us with whatever he's cooking up on this concept.
Thats alot of small thingies off to the side...
Floating Cars! Looks very interesting, these two weeks wont pass quick enough. Good Job Rare, Can you tell us what PvP will be like in this area or will it be a No-PvP zone? (( hoping for the no-pvp zone )).
Floating cars and black choppers... wonders if there is anything on those "little islands w/ trees" ..
Maybe the floating areas are for you to high jump to safety? As when you get the lvl 90 npcs you can jump away?
Definitely adds intrigue...
They have to be useable to be there right? And that would explain why the middle area is somewhat small. As constructs are only able to be a certain size. So why would he put objects that far out if you couldnt use em. That would waste usable space.
Maybe there's ways to warp around to the little islands. Like going through certain doors? 
I miss the black helicopters.
Some of those islands look too far out to be reached by hyper-jump. I'm betting they're just decorative.
I think they were placed there simply to give the construct a feeling of child-like imagination. Every other construct has some form of structure to it, but this is a construct created by a little girl.
Imagine being 8 or 9 years old again, and you had the power to create your own virtual playground. How creative would you get? Anti-gravity would be pretty high on my "To Do" list.

I think they look more like a scattering of lego bricks, kind of like how kids leave things lying around the bedroom when they decide to play with something else.
FFA pvp plz?

I doubt it. The screens we saw within the construct didn't show active pvp. Could have just been not implemented, but I still doubt it anyway.

We already have Datamine for FFAPVP.

*nods* Besides, there were originally a couple Blackwoods in Debir Court. They were taking out a long time ago. I think it was because they were a little disruptive to the gatherings that would take place there.

We have six constructs with regular PvP rules and one free-for-all. It would be nice to have a construct that didn't flag you for PvP (though you could still use the /pvp command if you wanted).

Those islands floating there threw me for a loop. It's kinda small, but I'm very excited as to how this will turn out.

Yep, it would be nice to have a construct with no pvp
Some of the other screen shots Rare posted showed him opening the boxes 'inside' rooms... so ...maybe we can go inside all these buildings, which would make the 'size' much larger than it appears. Hmmmm.
And here I thought this was going to be about a "phishing" pun.

Phooled you ^_^
hehe =P
Hmm, a few people have been referring to "boxes" - where have you read about these, are they PB style boxes or something else?
