In 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!

I think this event is going to be a lot of fun. While I'm not looking forward to mounted combat, I am definitely looking forward to the Argent Crusade coliseum. I'm thinking it is something like the 3rd boss encounter in Magister's Terrace, where there are 5 mobs consiting of classes capable of doing DPS and Healing and with no threat list. This fight feels like a 5v5 arena battle against NPCs.
I always liked this boss and I hope we will see this again in WotLK!
Also, more titles, hell yeah!
Thanks pauk for pointing me to this
