Beta 1.7.3 National Park

The Beta 1.7.3 National Park is a large area of contiguous terrain to the east of Ashenvale which was copied into the map directly from Beta 1.7.3's map world2. Whilst it only has one settlement, Dome Town, it contains various other important buildings and structures, including the meteor fields that gave the server its name. Due to its designation as a National Park, very little of the area has been modified since its incorporation into genmap. In this way, the area preserves a large amount of pre-release architecture, and is of interest thusly.

Lore
The National Park consists mostly of a lake and its surroundings. This area is noted for being particularly luxurious - the villa on Dragon Island was a very early example of a fancy building (though its architecture does not stand up by today's standards). In addition, the area was clearly inhabited in the past - numerous ruins and underground treasures can be found and have been found in the past in the National Park.

During 2011, the area was subjected to a bombardment of small meteorites, inflicting significant damage to the areas surrounding the Everfree Forest. It is this that gave the server its name.

Trivia

 * Despite being from the oldest surviving MeteorCraft map, the Beta 1.7.3 National Park is not the oldest section of terrain in the world. The oldest section is City Fifteen, which was constructed in Beta 1.5_01.
