Technical Details

Seed Number: -614 270 140
Version: XBL 1.4 (TU9) (no PC equiv)

Etymology

WOW is an on-line video game -- called World of Warcraft -- that has undergone several iterations, revisions, and upgrades over the course of the near decade that it's been live. The original version of the game -- with no downloaded content -- is referred to by die-hard fans as "Vanilla WOW".

Notes

This seed is all about the villages. The first two villages were so close together that I was able to fit them in the same shot. You could easily connect them to form a little town. The dead drop cave was really a lot of fun.

Can't Miss

I'm pretty sure that the biggest single longest cave I've ever come across can be found at -197.45.148 and may be partially constructed from bits of the ravine that carves it's way through the northern wall. It's not terribly exciting, but it's a beast to plop down torches because there are a lot of bad guys hiding inside.
