WG about to win a "First to 25 kills" CWRI against OdaTribe in 2024
See also: War

A PKRI (Player Killing Run-In) is a PvP event in Old School RuneScape, and a variation of the traditional war in which two or more clans fighting against each other. When players are killed in a PKRI, they are expected to re-gear, return, and continue fighting - often "returning" multiple times for the entire duration of the fight. PKRIs are held in either the Wilderness or the Clan Wars arena - PKRIs in the latter are sometimes referred to as "CWRI"s.

Historically, "war" would refer to a knock-out fight in which players did not return, and in the early years of RuneScape, returning was considered dishonourable - though as PKRIs with returning became more frequent throughout the game's history, the concept of the run-in was incorporated into warring.[1] A win/victory in a PKRI is achieved if the opposing clan(s) are "cleared" (they do not have enough players in the fight to continue) or have "ended" (their members are instructed to leave/cease returning). Time and kill caps are sometimes used as alternative methods to determine a victor. A draw is also a possible result - usually this occurs if both clans agree to end the fight before either is cleared or ends, or if another clan "crashes" the fight.

The Wilderness Guardians has held thousands of PKRIs over the years, and continues to hold them in Old School RuneScape. Prior to OSRS, wars were previously held in RuneScape 2 and DarkScape - like all other PvP events, they are not held in RuneScape 3 due to the game's unpopular and unbalanced PvP.[2]
