Some World of Warcraft Alpha/Beta theories

I remember there being a post on reddit where someone shares their theories on what happened during the alpha/beta, but I can’t find it anymore, so I’ve made my own post about a few theories:

• Shaman totems were originally sold by Tah Winterhoof in his shop Winterhoof Totems.
  
• Players originally had to pay in order to discover a new flight path.
  
• It was possible to tame darkhounds as part of the wolf family (because they drop wolf meat) while basilisks could be tamed as part of the crocolisk family. All tamed darkhounds and basilisks were most likely changed to wolf and crocolisk models respectively shortly before the game went live. As of Cataclysm, darkhounds are once again tameable as part of the dog (later hound) family while basilisks became tameable again as part of their own family an expansion later.
• The Carrion Bird family was originally called “Buzzard”, the Crocolisk family was originally called “Crocodile”, and the Scorpid family was originally called “Scorpion”.
  
• Wool Cloth was originally called “Wool”.
  

What do you guys think? Do you have any other theories you want to share with me? We should have the other alpha/beta phases of WoW leak online so we can see if my theories are correct. More information about the oldest available alpha phase publicly can be found here and there.
