The '''International PvP War''' was a ''RuneScape'' [[:Category:Community events|community event]] coordinated by [[Jagex]] that took place on both [[31 July]] and [[1 August]] [[2010]]. The War consisted of six separate [[PvP]] battles between different language communities in the centre of [[Gunnarsgrunn]]. The War was first announced on [[29 July]] with the update "[[Update:International PvP War|International PvP War]]".{{CiteNews|author=Mod Achilles|url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=3279|title=International PvP War|newsdate=29 July 2010|date=18:04, July 29, 2010 (UTC)}} Event information, a FAQ, and tips were posted on the [[RuneScape Forums]] by Jagex. Mod Achilles called it "one of the biggest challenges yet taken in ''RuneScape''".{{CiteForum|author=Mod Achilles|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5rad7XcTK|forum=Events|title=PvP International War|postdate=29 July 2010|date=19:07, July 29, 2010 (UTC)|name=forum}}<br />
<br />
The War was criticised for having the English community and the [[RuneScape Germany|German]] community on the same team, despite them being the two most populous communities in ''RuneScape''. Jagex replied that they tried to balance teams by quantity, level and time zone.{{CiteForum|author=Mod Achilles|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5ranGEqOR|title=PvP International War|forum=Events|postdate=29 July 2010|date=01:17, August 2, 2010 (UTC)}} However, the English and German communities' team still won the War.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All battles took place on the [[PvP worlds|PvP World]] 21, in the centre of [[Gunnarsgrunn]]. In a PvP world, if a player dies, he or she will lose [[Items Kept on Death|most or all]] of his or her [[items]]. There were six total battles, three on [[31 July]], and three on [[1 August]]. There were four different teams fighting, with each team representing two language communities. Each team member was required to wear a certain [[team cape]], depending on what team they represented ([[#Teams|see below]] for teams and capes). The [[cape merchant]] that sold the correct types of capes is [[William]], who sells the capes for 50 [[coins]] each. Alternatively, team capes could have been purchased from the [[Grand Exchange]].{{NamedRef|forum}}<br />
<br />
Screenshots were taken during the battle, and the predominance colour on each screenshot would earn points. The winners were the team with most points after the 6 battles.{{NamedRef|forum}} On [[2 August]], Jagex announced the [[#The War|the results of the War]].<br />

==The War==<br />
The winning team of the war was Team 1 (the English and German communities), who held the centre of Gunnarsgrunn for most of the competition. Teams 2 (Dutch and French) and 4 (Spanish and Polish) came in equal second, while Team 3 (Portuguese and Nordic), which came in last place, was still able to take the centre of the village for a while.{{CiteForum|author=Mod Crow|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5ri2DVXfY|title=PvP International War|postdate=2 August 2010|date=15:01, August 3, 2010 (UTC)|forum=Events}}<br />
