heh... don't worry... i had my mule account ALONG WITH my mf socr hacked last week. i had to start over too
but guess what? i created a new account (gamer_gal) and took 2 days to lvl my new socr to about lvl 80ish. and there are a lot of sucky items out there that no one wants, so i could get some newb items easily from people to start me off.
then with p topazed armor with p topazed tals mask, some stupid mf boot, and sucky 25 mf nalrings (is that how you spell it??) i started tp pindle in nightmare. i found a bunch of unique aummies and traded for an occy. i also did the sheal-eth runeword in a grim shield.
found a bunch of new stuff, traded for a skulders and lidless shield... and then.... I FOUND TALS ARMOR!!! go pindle bot! i love it! @_@ my merc is now wearing skulders, this set basinet (what is this worth?), and lidless. i wear tals mask, tals armor, tals belt, sheal-eth shield, 2 narlings (spelling check...), chance guards (only 36 mf...

), a nice + socr skills with mf aummy, and waterwalks (found in cow lvl).
i think i'm going good for one week after getting hacked! i'm actually better than i was before... (but i had perfect 30 mf narlings and 48 mf war travs...

)
