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]

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]
