RuneScape has announced the 2010 Jagex Cup with Runescape Gold, an annual competition for clan members featuring both in-game and real-world prizes. The 2009 event drew more than 500 participating clans and 80,000 players, all competing for commemorative plaques, lifetime game memberships, and trips to visit the Jagex development studio.
This year's Jagex competition is broken down into three sub-classes: the Combat Cup (PVP), the Skilling Cup (PvE), and the Combined Cup. The tournament boasts weekly challenges in each, all feeding into the Grand Finals. "The Jagex Clan Cup is the largest player event in RuneScape's annual calendar, with three separate competitions run over the summer, culminating in three ultimate clan champions; this will be the most complex and engaging event RuneScape's Community Team will run for our loyal player base," says Mod Kelvin, Jagex Head of Community Management.
