Since there is just so much things to consider here , I'm gonna start writing down some notes (mainly for myself.)

From this PR:

The stable at SH bunker currently has stabled rams spawned. They should not be pre spawned.
I think the reason they are currently spawned is because original korrak sniffs, someone had turned in rams up in north which apparently does cause them to spawn even at SH bunker. The later korrak sniffs from SL which doesn't stable rams in dun baldar, does not have rams at SH bunker.

In regards to ram stable in Dun Baldar, seems like it's supposed to have ram spawn outside the building too:

Missing flags at Winterhax Hold when Snowfall Graveyard is captured:

Found in korrak revenge SL sniffs, not found in the original korrak revenge sniffs.

---

Weird object's all around Drek'thar and Vanndar in sniffs:


Image from classic sniffs. They seem to be unused objets. Are they pre spawned?
I can't remember seeing it being spawned before or is something that just happens to spawn upon Drek or Vanndars death?

Currently portal is missing at horde and ally exit:

Blizz seems to have messed up graveyard objects in Korrak's Revenge. They do not match 1.5.0 screenshots.
Confirmed wrong thus far is IB GY, SP GY, FW GY, SH GY
From this PR and in korrak sniffs sniff:

FW GY:

SH GY:

Dated 20th of July 2005.

6 September 2005

IB GY:

Unknown exact date, somewhere between 1.5.0 and 1.8.0. Graveyard flag not seen here it exists in korrange revenge sniffs or in 1.12.1.


Unknown exact date, somewhere between 1.5.0 and 1.8.0. Graveyard flag not seen here it exists in korrange revenge sniffs or in 1.12.1.







Unknown exact date, somewhere between 1.5.0 and 1.8.0. Shows the old location of IB gy flag.

I found this old screenshot, from blizz pre-release AV. Seems to display Stronghoof more near mid, it's possible he used to be there when graveyard was closer to mid.

Missing NPCs that do not exist in any sniff, not even korraks revenge.

Weird flag location of Tower Point.

Unknown date, but according to patch notes "Tower Banners in Alterac Valley can no longer be used through walls.".
So perhaps some flags used to be very close to walls before.

Ice Blood Tower with flag closer to wall. Pre-release patch 1.5.0.

West Frostwolf Tower with flag closer to the wall:

Dated July 13 2005.

---

Old Horde Spirit Guide location in cave. Pre patch 1.9.3, as the patch notes says "The default graveyards in Alterac Valley for each side were moved further up the tunnels away from the battlegroud[sic] exit. This should prevent accidentally leaving the battleground."

Image showing Snowfall Graveyard between 1.8 and 1.10. Dated 15 Jan 2006 Looks like blizz just moved the pack that stands near bridge in Korrange revenge, to further back when they remade snowfall graveyard in patch 1.8.
