Whoa... jousting comes to WoW. I didn't see that coming.
Hopefully it's fun... I haven't really been feeling pvp in LK for some reason.
Source: World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Argent Tournament on the PTRIn patch 3.1, a new world event titled “The Argent Tournament” will be coming to Northrend! This tournament will be live on the 3.1 PTR and open for testing, though certain aspects are still in development. Players will find a host of new features here, including:
The ability to prove your worth to a capital city of your choosing through our new mounted combat system (still in development)
New daily quests to construct the great Argent Crusade coliseum for glorious battles to come
All new rewards - new items, titles, banners, tabards, pets, mounts, and more
All new achievements
Many more festivities, and more to come in future content updates!
Players will find the Argent Tournament in Icecrown. Speaking to any Northrend flight master will get you on track to prove your worth to the Argent Crusade, your faction’s leaders, and all denizens of Azeroth!

3.1 is going to be a freaking huge patch. Ulduar, Dual Specs, Gear management, many class balance changes, and now this Argent Tournament thing.
This world event is probably the only one I've been excited about, barring only the zombie infestation. There's some real meat to it other than silly little quests.
omfg mounted combat?
That was my first reaction as well, Cider... If implemented right, it could be awesome.

Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
Warriors and Paladins should dominate jousting for the first 2 weeks, we've been using shields for FOUR YEARS!
I keed...

BW, i expect you on the PTR by the end of the week, and I expect to be jousting your face by the end of the weekend.
From a cool factor, this is cool.... really cool.
I have one thing that bugs me on this though, Argent Crusade is sponsoring arena death matches? Ummm no, that would be completely against their nature as lawful good paladin hero types. A friendly lance to the chest over a keg of brew and a pretty girls smile would even be a stretch.
Anyway, gonna have to check it out. Horrible lore and all, cause it sounds like fun.
you ain't got nothing on this, texan.

Agreed, and I've also been wondering why they have time to organise a distraction like this. Shouldn't they have more important matters to worry about?
Last time I visited Icecrown, they were still fighting the undead armies of the lich king.. but maybe that was only in my phased version since I haven't completed the zone yet.
