Argent Tournament (i.e. The OTHER 3.1 content...)

[Benggal]

Just saw this little snippet while snooping around for 3.1 info:

"The Argent Tournament is an event where the crusaders decided to stop their campaign against the undead so that they could build an arena and play games. As mentioned in a comment above this one, there are several rewards that can be bought with Champion's Seal (the very item this page is about).

During patch 3.1, the horde and the alliance will help in the construction of the arena, most likely through daily quests.

During patch 3.2, the arena will be finished, but very little info has been released about the quests or rewards that will be offered with the arena.

According to a blue, the tournament is not going to be a pvp event."

This looks to be a bit like the Isle was, with daily quests paving the way towards more daily quests in a large story arc that covers several patches.  Rather nice for the lore-lovers among us who can't raid that often.  Also, there are tons of rewards to be bought from a new Argent Quartermaster that takes Champion's Seal tokens (rewards from daily quests introduced with this new content) including weapons, armor and mounts.

I was actually feeling a bit underwhelmed from the content spoken of in the official PTR patch notes since pretty much all the new content they speak of in there is the new dungeon that I'll probably never see.  Apart from the new fishing quests, I wasn't really seeing anything that'd keep me playing on a daily basis, and that made me kinda sad.  This, however, promises to be as engaging and fun as the Isle was.  I look forward to it.

seems interesting.  I'm glad it isn't more pvp.  I think there are a good amount of pvp areas now.
