RuneScape

The Dominion Tower allows accomplished combatants the chance to revisit some of the best boss fights in RuneScape in an awe-inspiring new environment, with challenging handicaps, all-new scenarios and some great rewards:

- Climber mode allows you to ascend through the levels of the tower, facing a randomly chosen boss scenario on each floor. After each victory, an effect will be applied and will persist through all subsequent fights in that attempt. While a few of these will be beneficial, most of them will be handicaps. You’ll be able to replenish food and change equipment between fights, so how high will hubris take you?

- Endurance mode restricts your access to the bank after each fight, so whatever you take in needs to last. This mode is a true test of tenacity.

- Special mode presents a range of challenging, treacherous and, often, weird encounters with which to test your skill and ingenuity. Fancy fighting Count Draynor, Elvarg, and their miscreant buddies with nothing but your fists and a bunch of explosives? How about 15 Evil Chickens? Think you can beat down Nomad twice in a row? We’d love to see you try!

- Freestyle mode lets you fight on your own terms. There are no rewards for More >

During the annual RuneFest, RuneScape developers, fans and players celebrated the game's tenth anniversary with a cake, as if something else should be eaten! The 80-pound cake featured a floating Citadel as well as other images evocative of the decade-old game.

The castle cake was further enhanced with custom, dramatic LED lighting and real fog from a hidden, food safe fog machine. The surrounding environment was also inhabited by ten, highly detailed characters from the game, including the popular NPC’s including Blasidar, Grim Reaper, and the Fairy Queen. Once cut the cake served all 500 loyal fans and the Jagex staff.
