Runescape's been around for 11 years and the game is still going strong. It's even in the Guiness Book of World Records, holding the official title of "world's most popular free to play game." More than 160 million registered accounts and roughly 10 million active users monthly, Runescape is a force to be reckoned with in the free to play realm. Whether you're a regular player or not, independent game publisher Jagex wants you to join in on their closed beta which begins June 26.

GamesRadar has only 100 keys to giveaway, so if you want in, leave a comment below and tell us why you want in, and we'll be in touch with instructions on how to get started.

"The Evolution of Combat update is the biggest single game-changing update in RuneScape’s 11 year history. From the outset we have been focused on putting the skill back into RuneScape combat; making it more engaging, tactical and ultimately more heroic. All this makes the Evolution of Combat update on of the most eagerly anticipated RuneScape updates of all time so, if you want to be in with a chance of being among the first to give it a try, be sure to enter the GamesRadar competition right away.” - Christopher Long, lead Runescape developer
