I agree that since we do pay, it would be nice if we didn't have to spend out money to stay a member while waiting out delayed updates. I think Jagex should add kind of an "Away Mode." Basically if you're already paid up for a month, but you won't be playing, whether it's because of school, a vacation, or just waiting for a particular update, then you turn on away mode and your membership time doesn't count down. Obviously this could be abused so it would certainly need some limitations which I haven't really thought much about. I do think it's a good concept. Also from a couple pages back, the reason to play RS in secret if you're in college is so that you have even the slightest chance of getting laid.
