The Test Realm 1.6 Patch Notes (compare them to the leaked ones ;)):
And, of course, this was just a rumor when it leaked ;) :
Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.6.0 (2005-??-??)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blackwing Lair Released!
Nefarian's sanctum, Blackwing Lair, can be found at the very height
of Blackrock Spire. It is there in the dark recesses of the
mountain's peak that Nefarian has begun to unfold the final stages of
his plan to destroy Ragnaros once and for all and lead his army to
undisputed supremacy over all the races of Azeroth. Blackwing Lair
is a max-level, 40-player raid dungeon, with many new encounters and
tempting rewards awaiting the intrepid adventurer that dares enter
its halls.
Darkmoon Faire!
A gathering of the exotic from around the world and beyond, Silas
Darkmoon has brought together the Darkmoon Faire as a celebration of
the wondrous and mysterious found in Azeroth. While the Faire spends
most of their time in parts unknown, they do stop from time to time
in Mulgore and Elwynn forest. When the faire is on its way barkers
will stop by Ogrimmar and Ironforge to announce its arrival.
Battlemasters!
There is a new way to enter the battleground queues. Battlemasters!
Located in some of the cities, right-clicking on a battlemaster will
allow your character to enter a battleground queue just like you
normally would if you touched that battlegroundâs entrance portal.
The functionality is exactly the same, so when itâs your characterâs
time to enter the chosen battleground, you will be teleported
directly in. Glordrum Steelbeard stands in the Hall of Arms in
Ironforge, serving as the Alliance battlemaster for Alterac Valley.
Aethalas of the Silverwing Sentinels stands ready in Darnassus, next
to the warrior trainers, to send Alliance characters into Warsong
Gulch. And in the Hall of the Brave, located in Orgrimmarâs Valley
of Honor, Brakgul Deathbringer serves as the Hordeâs battlemaster
for Warsong Gulch, while Kartra Bloodsnarl will send you to bring
glory to the Horde in Alterac Valley. Guards in their respective
cities can give you directions on how to find them.

The system will place your character's spirit at the closest
allowed graveyard in the zone. For example, an Alliance character
dying closer to the new Darnassus graveyard, detailed below,
will use that graveyard rather than the one located at Dolanaar.
Starting area graveyards are still reserved exclusively for
characters of similar faction that die within their confines.
For example, the spirit of a Horde character dying right outside
of Deathknell will not use Deathknell graveyard, but will instead
go to the next closest Tirisfal Glades graveyard.

Durotar, just to the south of Orgrimmar. In addition to serving
northern Durotar, Horde characters dying in Orgrimmar, The Hall

use the Razor Hill graveyard.

Thunder Bluff in Mulgore. Horde characters dying in Thunder Bluff

Mulgore will continue to only use the graveyard at Bloodhoof
Village.

new graveyard. Horde characters dying on Teldrassil will still

around the side of the mountain. It is only for use by Alliance
characters that die inside Ironforge and in the Gates of Ironforge
sub-area of Dun Morogh. Horde characters dying therein will
continue to only use the Kharanos graveyard.
The Ruins of Lordaeron above Undercity now has a Horde-only
graveyard. Horde characters dying inside the Undercity will use
this new graveyard. Alliance characters will continue to solely use
the Faol's Rest graveyard.
A neutral graveyard has been added at the Eastvale Logging Camp
in Elwynn Forest. The graveyard at Goldshire is now for use by
the Alliance exclusively. Horde characters dying in Elwynn Forest
and its sub-areas, as well as in Stormwind, The Stockade and the
Deeprun Tram, will have their spirits travel to the new graveyard
at the Eastvale Logging Camp.
A neutral graveyard has been added on the island of Caer Darrow
in Western Plaguelands. It will serve characters who die on
Caer Darrow and in Scholomance.
A neutral graveyard has been added in the Eastern Plaguelands
near the northwestern shore of Blackwood Lake. Characters that
die in The Fungal Vale will continue to use the Darrowshire
graveyard due to the mountains between it and the new graveyard.
Additionally, characters dying in Stratholme will now use the
new Blackwood Lake graveyard.
A neutral graveyard has been added in Feralas, just to the
southwest of Dire Maul. Characters dying in Dire Maul will use
