Aaarrrrgggghhh I've had my account hacked and lost practically everything!! Not been on for the last two days as I haven't been able to bear starting over from scratch! :(
Does anyone have some really good ideas about how to start over??? I have skills such as 71 mining and 62 smithing!
And am able to make and enchant diamond!
Only problem is I've no money no runes!! no pick! ....gosh no anything!!! I was pretty rich and had a lot of decent stuff so I'm very very unhappy!!
I had over 3000ea of all runes including nats, cosmics and chaos
If anyone has any advice or motivational words please contact me here or on runescape my account on there is dynamite3076
May be online later 8pm UK time if I can motivate myself to go through the pain of trying to make money to buy stuff :( soooooooooo frustrating to have to do it all over again.... was just starting to really enjoy runescape as I'd put hours and hours indeed months and months in to making over a million and purchasing lots of decent items.
Cheers

Dynamite try to collect cowhides or kill cows and sell them for 100ea. After that just buy a rune pic or something lower and try to earn back your money.
I know what the feeling is to get hacked. But if your able to earn millions once you can do it again.

First put a PIN on your bank account.
With your Mining, I'd get a bronze pick from the mining trainer (S of Lumby) and start mining iron or coal or gold or ess. Buy a Rune pick as soon as possible and work your way up from there.
If you do runecrafting, I'd be happy to trade you some tiaras for ore or ess.

um ppl, i think "hacked" is the wrong term. hacked means a virus or something like that maybe a keylogger stole ur pass while u were entering it. maybe u mean u said ur pass out loud or sumthing or told a friend u thought was a friend and he took ur stuff. i had that happen to me. me and my friend shared a pure which i created. then i moved away and he changed pass and took evrything.....bad days....

umm, actually, you shouldn't ask for a guide/advice here. You should post guides/advices, not to ask for them. Anyways, there are a lot of nice guides here. Take a look at one and help yourself. Who knows? You might get lucky!

I had once got password stolen on rs1, lost my blue mask and a santa hat and rune stuff. Back then I had been depressed like you, feeling like giving up runescape, so I just mined to deal with my anger and through time, I got rich again, just by mining!! :)

Well wow, this is rather unfortunate.
But don't give up, there is hope. Money can be regained, gather basic primitive tools around RuneScape and raise your skills. Purchase better tools with the money you made from your skills, and repeat.
Maybe incorporate some staking or merchanting, and you're on the ball once more. :)

Dynamite, I will first tell you that you do not have to keep playing RS. You can take a break if you wish and just not come back to playing the online game. It doesn't better you in real life.. =/
But, if you really want to keep playing RS, then think about this.. You can start over with a new character with all lvl 1 stats, or you can continue on the currect character with the high stats. It is much easier to make money and fight monsters on a character that already has the good stats. And you can just do the same thing that you did before to make all of your money again, but this time it will be easier because you know what you are doing and you have higher lvls than before.
Sry you got your account hacked. Make sure you have security questions, good password, bank PIN, and don't visit random sites on the internet.
