The Argent Tournament, sounds fun. Sounds like something I'd want to do on all my characters.

So how is this going to work? Like the AQ war effort leaving a pile of discontinued fun content no one can ever get at again? Like the SSO but with mounts leaving an awesome experience? Like a holiday (even though it's not on the calendar) that happens yearly? I'm really hoping it's yearly or like the SSO and that it's not a limited window kinda deal. Windows on content FTL.

Achievements should require work or skill, not real world money or the favor of an RNG... I'm looking at you Mountain o' Mounts! Also now under my gaze: Be Mine!

It's going to be a permanent event. You will be working to construct the coliseum, though the coliseum itself will officially be added in a future content patch.

You'll see more competitions and festivities coming down the road as well.

Welcome to the forums. I love you.

Q u o t e:
Will the coliseum be PvP related? Like team vs team arena or vehicle vs vehicle, etc...(from rumors I've heard)

---

No, the coliseum will not be PvP-related, at least not as far as the current plan goes, though it will be instanced. We'll have more information on this down the road.

---

Q u o t e:
Where is the event held? and is it on the PTR?

---

It's in Icecrown and currently on the PTR, though certain aspects of the tournament are still being developed for 3.1 (coliseum not included). The Argent Crusade has shuffled off some penguins previously occupying an area by the coast to begin construction of the coliseum.

---

Q u o t e:

I agree, it seems incredibly odd to stop the fight against the Scourge to go jousting.

---

It's not just the Argent Crusade. Top representatives from all of the major city factions (Ironforge, Darnassus, Orgrimmar, Undercity, etc.) are on-hand to find the most battle-hardened candidates for taking the fight to Arthas's door step. Through the tournament, and eventually through the coliseum, you'll be able to fight for the glory of the city faction of your choosing.

Tournaments and competitions like this may seem like trivial games in times of real struggle against the Scourge, but it's also an opportunity to rally those who oppose the Lich King through blood sport. ;)

Q u o t e:
So ... the whole Colosseum is still in dev? How long before the stuff works?

---

The coliseum itself will not be coming in patch 3.1.
