Control of the graveyards is desired to allow PCs to spawn closer to their death location as well as add Bonus Honor at end game. Releasing your spirit will port you to the closest graveyard that your faction controls. Right-clicking an enemy's graveyard flag will change the flag to neutral. Right-clicking a neutral flag (previously your faction's) will reclaim the graveyard for your faction. If a flag remains neutral for 5 minutes, control will change to Horde if a Horde player made the flag go neutral and to Alliance if an Alliance player made the flag go neutral. Once control changes, the Spirit Guides from the previous faction will despawn and be replaced by Spirit Guides of the controlling faction. Only 10 players may resurrect at a time (this number may change based on design decisions).

Control of the mines is desired for easy access to supplies used to start a Ground Assault as well as Bonus Honor at end game. Control of mines is determined by which faction lands the killing blow on the Boss; neutral NPCs are in control when the fight first begins. Upon control change, Stormpike NPCs will spawn if an Alliance player landed the killing blow and Frostwolf NPCs will spawn if a Horde PC landed the killing blow. While a mine is controlled by a particular faction, only that faction will respawn. After 30 minutes, neutral NPCs regain control of the mines.
