Welcome to Zelaron, we hope you enjoy your time here.

Just for future reference, please try to avoid posting in threads that are 2+ weeks old, unless there is a valid reason.

In reference to your issue with the items disappearing, did you die more than once with equipment on? If you: Die, re-equip yourself, die again, and then proceed to leave the game, only *1* of your corpses is saved, the one with the most gold value is saved and brought to next game. The other corpse does not follow you to the next game.

Hope that helped clear that up for you.
