===Findings===
This build is interesting, as the above maps list is in the original order of the Map.dbc, where map id #169, which is EmeraldDream, is inserted above all other map id's. Normally, the id numbers are sequential. This indicates either a late-breaking addition to the game files, or an accidental edit by a developer. At this stage of development, the Emerald Dream files were as complete as they are to this day (Mists of Pandaria patch 5.4.7). It's unknown if the files changed significantly between version 0.5.3 and 0.5.5, as we do not have a working server or converter for the maps in this version of the game. Further work and analysis is needed to see what changed internally.
