I'm not really sure if this is in the game or not, I tried looking it up but came up with nothing.
IMO, Jousting would make this game amazing especially with this revolutionary combat system it would fit perfectly in. It would work the same way a battleground would work, you get someone from the same level bracket as you that would want to fight and you would joust. They could even go 1 step further and add some training for jousting (like in the olden days.) anyways, for people that dont know what jousting is: Jousting is a martial competition between two mounted knights. Jousting was at the peak of its popularity in the 14th to 16th centuries. The knights were often each equipped with three weapons; a lance, a one-handed sword, and a rondel. When one knight knocked the other off his mount, he was declared the winner of the round. If both knights were knocked off their mounts at the same time, it was considered a tie; they would then engage in sword combat, and the last standing was victorious. The knights usually jousted in a best out of three situation. you can read more about it here: http://en.allexperts.com/e/j/jo/jousting.htm. |

You will be able to use a lance from horseback, and you will be able to target another horseman with it. Whether or not they implement actuall programming to do it, that is enough for players to set up their own matches.

IMO, that isnt really enough..it would feel much more immersive if there was the jousting arena, training grounds etc. to add a sense of, as i said, immersiveness.

 There will be no poncy medievil jousting, because its lame and doesn't fit into the lore. But you can jump on your horse equip your lance and take out some player heads/formations whilst your guild is pillaging and burning player made cities. Which sounds more exciting? |

Wrong. You can not pillage and burn player made cities. The only thing you'll be able to attack is the pvp battle keeps. Player made cities are off limits to pvp.

MMO''s are okay, just don''t let them run your life. |
Just like the dude said earlier. Jousting my friend would be part of King Arthurs Court. Conan is pretty much a free for all world, some rules apply but it really is the strong that survive. If you watch the first part of Conan the Barbarian (movie) You will see little Arnie taken from his village after it gets crushed. This is pretty much the world the game tries to create (I hope).

Originally posted by Shannia I knew that, just cause i wasn't using the official AoC terminology. battle keeps are like towns designed around fighting for PvP. there will be enemy NPC cities, city cities, to burn. |

jousting would be a fantastic feature. including added difficulty while increasing effectiveness would also add to the gameplay. if there were small tournements around the landscape, similiar to areanas, would be great as well., If left out however the game wouldn't be hindered at all.
