Hi. When you enter a game, hit 'enter' and type "/players8" (without quotes.) Then, enter the Blood Moor and kill stuff. When that's done, enter the Den of Evil, and kill more stuff.

Sorry for the heavy sarcasm, but you may want to give LOTS more details. Obviously untwinked (unless you've kept stashes around for 10 years?), but what character, what build, what skills do you like, what skills will you avoid at all costs? Do you want to farm or re-run areas, or bosses? Do you just want to get the the end of Normal as fast as possible? End of Hell as fast as possible? Do you want to only get to Baals? Do you want to do the Cow Levels and go for a grail? Do you want to MP? The list goes on.

We can give tons of hints and tips, but you need to give us a bit more to work with. Your best bet is to pick a character that goes into melee, range or caster, and start trying out some skills. You can reset your stats and skills now three times, so don't worry if a skill doesn't work out. Just give them a go and see how you go. Good luck!

I would add that killing super uniques and bosses on /P8 is probably the easiest way to level up early on. Just go kill Rakavishnu (the guy that guards the stone circle) at P8 for a while and you'll be at lvl 16 before you know it. It really helps if you roll a nice map for this. Countess can get you to lvl 20+, but she's kind of far away if you don't have a speedy class and good map.

There are other super-uniques that can serve this capacity throughout the game (Beetleburst, that big guy outside of Kurast, and of course Pindleskin in act V). Pindle is by far the most effecient- he can take you from the mid twenties all the way to lvl 45 rather quickly.
