I am playing at 3 AM and am groggy but working the zon through Act 1 in hell. My merc decides to wander off and I get mobbed and killed. I try to reach my body to get my gold and some experience back and get killed again. So the third time I fake running to the body to draw the monsters off and then sprint to the body and try and pick up stuff. Unfortunately I picked up a cracked axe first before touching my body. I leave the game and make a new game and suddenly realize my socketed Eagle is gone. There is a nice new factory-fresh cracked axe, but no Eagle. I desparately try to re-enter the previous game but I am fucked - "Game Does Not Exist".
