Nice picture. But where is proof?
Sigh.
It's a picture from the second link you gave. According to the description, it depicts a "mêlée at a tournament".
People keep mistaking "melee" for "melee (aka non-ranged) infantry".

So - that's mean what =
to take a "Plated Charger" (even with no weapon)
and just riding around and bumping other team until they die
is a "melee battle"? Very funny definition of melee.

By your definition - it is ok. It is really "melee".

Meow, every "discussion", no matter how stupid it might seem, doesn't exist just for the sake of existance.

point is if you want to talk about semantics instead of acknowledging why we talk about it in the first place you're not helping the topic at all which makes it useless for the thread itself.
pretty much like what we are doing here right now.

This is a stupid idea. Ranged is a natural counter to 2h/pole and you just remove them? If this goes on you shouldn't get any g/xp from it.
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

Quite true. But as a thread is an announcement, it served it's role already, and we are basicly bumping it to further popularize it.

Wooki - why some peoples against cava?
Just imagine a situation:

1.I am on horse. You are not ^).

2.Of course you can have a pike. To fight with me you need something long (as pike of lance).
Without "anti-cava" weapon you can't beat me, but I can ^).

3.But to fight with other infantry (usual) using other weapon (sword, spear, e.t.c.).

4.From one side you are attacked by enemy team.

5.(and most interesting) what I am plying (riding) right behind you (and your mini-team - who are close to you).
I am not far away from you (about 3-4 meters). So - I can anytime hit you with my lance. In very short time (from my decision to attack you to landing my weapon).
It is some seconds (2-3). You can't reach me. Totaly ^). If I will not do a fault.
But I every second keeping you under the threat(danger).
If you will change you weapon from pike to close-combat weapon - you'll recieve hit from me.
If you will turn around from me (to other enemy) - you'll recieve hit from me.
If you trying to scare me by taking a pike and running on me - I will ride from you to other.
I will do all thing like above to other your teammates.
And when you change your pike to other weapon i will be back very quickly ^) .

I am free. I am invulnerable. While all your back line (I mean all mans staying in 2nd or whatever line) are vulnerable to my sudden attack.

On "normal" server horses afraid to ride near from infantry cos. of throwings, Xbow and bow.
Here is no "anit-cava" classes. So Cavalry are in this case like .... you know ^)

Even if yout teammates (and you) looking around 1 sec ago (to check where are the enemy).
Even so - in next second you can be killed by me.
Cos I can ride at full speed across your lines.

So. IMHO here is not needed additional reasons.
Or it is clear or not.
And, of course, It's up to personal feelings and flavors(?).
I have much greater speed than you

Melee Monday FTW!

I don't mind having Cav around. Don't having to pay attention to ranged already makes the game feel a walk in the park. and cav pfft, just block 'em if they seem carefull, kill them if not.

Melee Monday will lead to Crossbow Friday, which will then result in two days where the game can't be played normally. If you add in Naked Day, there's 3 days where it's not as fun. I say neigh to all these special days.
And then I shat in your face

Man -do you clearly understand, what here is 6 (six) game servers.
Eu1, Eu2, Eu3 (duel), Eu5 and Eu6 + Eu4_bt1 + Eu4_Siege.
And in one day in week on one server (one - o n e) will be any (let's imagine any - what you 100% don't like) event...
Will it make your game, live and personal feelings so terrible what you will not be capable to endure this?
Or, may be, you just will go to other 5 servers running in normal mode.

I really want to know this - is it totally unacceptably to you - if one of six servers will be temporary switched  to another mode instead standard?

This is a stupid idea. Ranged is a natural counter to everyone who is not using a large shield, holding RMB, and looking at them to 2h/pole  and generally use 2h/polearms and you just remove them?

Had to fix your misguided statement somewhat.

If you want to, ask for a eg ranged tuesday on some other server and enjoy the fun, or just play on EU1 or the variety of other servers.

Now, I wish there were no horses involved, but oh well.

Best ban reason ever:
