6 from 54 numbers = 18.6 billion possibilities
6 from 36 letters+numbers = 2.2 billion possibilities
7 from 36 letters+numbers = 78.4 billion possibilities
10 from 36 letters+numbers = 36^10 = 3,656 trillion possibilities
Changing your password will not lessen the chance of being bruteforce either because it is still one password in zillions. It only helps to prevent previous password leaks like if the rumor is true about trade windows and party requests.
The hacker (not likely bruteforcer) first has to get your login ID.
The easiest way to get your ID known is posting at the main forums (http://www.silkroadonline.net). The second way is if you use your SAME GAME LOGIN ID as your FORUM ID (SRF or SRT or whichever). Rumors are rumors (like trade window and party requests), it isn't likely true. People just need something to blame it on and that seems the most likely (the only) player interaction that caused a security leak.
How the password is obtained is a mystery unless it is easy to guess, leaked, or keylogged (most likely through bots).
Your EMAIL should be changed to one that is unused and unknown to everyone else. Most people give others their contact information, their EMAIL, which can be used to change your password. Once a person has your LOGIN ID and your EMAIL (or if your LOGIN is the same as your EMAIL), the hacker will be tipped off with the secret answer question.
