World event

A world event is a giant event shared across every world via an instanced area introduced with the release of RuneScape 3. The outcome of a world event is decided by player actions and the result will shape the world. There will be between three and ten world events in total. The next two world events were confirmed at Runefest 2013, and scheduled for 2014. The second is planned to be Bandos versus Armadyl and the next to be Marimbo versus Brassica Prime.

The Battle of Lumbridge

 * 22 July – 2 October 2013

After the death of Guthix, Zamorak and Saradomin returned to Gielinor and wrought havoc in Lumbridge. Players were able to side with either Zamorak or Saradomin, and gather Divine tears in order to support their chosen god. As the gods attacked each other with magic, a huge battle raged at their feet in the crater created upon Zamorak's return. Followers from each faction gathered divine tears to help fuel their chosen god and lead him to victory. As players deposited tears, they earned renown within their faction, exchangeable for rewards from the quartermaster. Ultimately, Saradominist forces gathered more tears than Zamorak's by a narrow margin, enabling Saradomin to overpower Zamorak. However, before Saradomin could strike a fatal blow, Moia came to Zamorak's aid and teleported away with him. With victory in hand, Saradomin departed shortly afterwards.

World Event 2
The second world event will be a battle between Armadyl and Bandos. At the end of this event, the defeated God will die.

World Event 3
The third world event will include Marimbo and Brassica Prime, and to fit their characters, will be much more light-hearted and the competition much more friendly between players.
