It surely does. It just adds 14 days to your membership. If you're a monthly membership subscriber then you'll find that you get rebilled a bit later too (72 hours before your membership runs out).

Hi all. I want to pre-empt some of the questions I expect you'll have. I'll answer any questions that emerge too!
Why are you doing this?
We want to put you at ease. Following the initial statement, there was lots of ambiguity, and players were worried about being banned without knowing why. We don't want to unfairly punish anybody by adding artificial difficulty, but we also need to protect the game's integrity.
Are you just fear-mongering?
Quite the opposite! We appreciate that the first blog raised more questions than it answered, and that's why we want to offer as much clarity as possible.
Why don't you build a new client/improve your existing client/partner with 'x' client?
We are still investigating a number of potential - really exciting - routes, including some of your suggestions. Whatever we decide to do will be some way off of release. In the meantime we have...

Hello!
We'll be live on twitch.tv/oldschoolrs on WEDNESDAY 30th October. We'll be live from 5pm GMT (double-check your timezones, since the clocks went back in the UK!)
I'll be your host. What questions would you like me to ask (and - hopefully - answer)?
Apologies for cancelling last week's Q&A. I'll be bringing some of those questions asked to this week's Q&A.
External link →Hi all. Apologies for the lengthy delay in an update concerning account security. Here we have an update from the web team and the player support team.
In this comment I'll be maintaining an FAQ in order to help information sharing. I've pre-empted some questions from you all just to kick things off...
Why aren't you doing an Authenticator Delay?
An Authenticator delay won't solve things like your email account being compromised by a hijacker, and in the event you'd get hijacked, it could keep you out of the game for longer. We've opted instead to proceed with backup codes as described in the blog.
What happens if I lose a backup code?
You'd have to manually contact the Player Support team. A lot of the reasoning behind your request for an Authenticator delay was to ensure that you'd have time to counter any hijacking attempt. That's why we're going to ensure that no action is taken for at least 72 hours ...
Read moreCan slayer partner be changed and made useful
What would make it useful without also making it abusable via exacerbated points/XP gain?
After the success of the farming guild, is the rework of other guilds in the pipeline for future work? It could be a great piece of content that if revived properly, and to community satisfaction, would have a very rewarding impact. Similar to have the farming guild has three tiers that pushes players to continue to level up their skill for all access to the guild.
What content would you want to see added to the guilds?

We've spoken about it in recent Q&As. We're looking to poll some Sire questions soon, and then I think we'll be looking at Grotesque Guardians.
What is the reasoning for not already having fist of guthix? the rewards are not necessarily needed and they could be made into reality with communitys help.
It wouldn't be as simple as copy and pasting a minigame from RS3 to OSRS. We've seen the state of multiple minigames which lack enthralling rewards (they aren't very active) and I think the same would be said for FoG.
Can you make rune pouch buyable with coins from the bh shop meanwhile you work on bounty hunter rework? Like 500k would be a suitable price I think.
Currently only way to get a rune pouch is through slayer or with existing bounty hunter points. Does not feel great to be stuck not using your only rune pouch in pvp for this long.
There's something in the works for Rune pouches for the duration of the beta. Blog coming imminently.
What the f**k is going on with these false bans?
Mod Tyran talks about the issue in some detail here: https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/dlhzok/why_shouldnt_evscape_get_a_faster_recovery_than/f4qk34l/
Why are people getting incorrectly banned? Can you do something about this to prevent further loss to other players who might not have a livestream/online following?

Can the Trouble Brewing be looked at?
Currently the red teams side is much worse than the blue teams side. Can the sides be mirrored, or something similar to Castle Wars, so there are no difference if you're on either teams. It makes no sense, that one teams base-layout is better than the others.
Solid shout here.
Botting could be solved by making a bot's gp worthless AFTER it has been RWTed. This would make buyers stop using RWTing services. What would be the challenges you could face in implementing this?
I think you need to further explain the idea. How could gp suddenly become worthless? Would that not just be banning the account and removing the gp?
Fishing Trawler is not fun. Please change each 'trawl' to a maximum of 3 minutes and reduce the chance of a skilling item to 1/4. Investing 20/40+hrs of literally standing still clicking a wall for next to no xp feels like an unnecessary time-sink when I could be playing more interesting areas of the game. Thanks.
I wouldn't be averse to reducing the length of time each trawl takes, but I'd prefer to separate that from any change in the droprate of the angler's outfit.
Can you explain in more detail and what you will do to fix/remedy the scenario where you inaccurately perm banned EvScape?
The player was unbanned. Other associated players were unbanned. Feedback was given to the anti-cheating specialist was responsible. Mod Tyran talks about the issue in more detail here: https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/dlhzok/why_shouldnt_evscape_get_a_faster_recovery_than/f4qk34l/
F2p slayer?
Would you like to see it? Would a new Slayer master be introduced, or would Vannaka be repurposed? Would we add existing P2P NPCs to F2P?
Hey all. I've been finding out what happened in this particular instance, and I've been working with the anti-cheating team to try and shine some light on how we handle false positives. Here's what I have to share:
We aren't out to falsely punish our playerbase. Nobody benefits there. We know that false positives do happen, and we wouldn't claim otherwise, but they do happen in an extremely low volume. Every anti-cheating specialist's actions are reviewed as part of 'quality' sampling (ie. are they taking the right action?). If we do encounter a false positive then we reverse the decision, and we review all other offences associated to that wave of bans.
In this specific instance it was made easier to resolve by the fact that an anti-cheating specialist happened to be viewing the stream. That led to the offence being reviewed in minutes (rather than as part of the normal sampling process), and that led to all other ass...
