Win a Real-Life Golden Scythe – Halloween Short Story Competition

October is here, and that means it’s time for our annual Halloween Short Story Competition!

This year, your prize is a real-life golden scythe.

To be in with your chance to win, all you need to do is write a Halloween horror story with a maximum of 200 characters (includes spaces).

The story judged to be the spookiest will win the golden scythe, and another story will win a RuneScape Bond.

The competition ends on the 1st November, after which we'll choose the two winners.

We look forward to seeing your entries - good luck!

Ironman Mode Birthday Celebration

If you took advantage of last week’s Ironman birthday celebration offer, you should receive your 2 weeks of free membership today.

For anyone new to Ironman mode or just curious about playing RuneScape in a more challenging way, there is a handy reference page with all you need to know about it.

Also a reminder that if you sign up to Ironman or Hardcore Ironman at any point or simply have an account, you will get one of two cosmetic armour overrides. They show off your prestigious Ironman status, but will – of course - vanish from your account should you quit Ironman or die in Hardcore mode!
