I only have 7 hearts now

I spent like 30 hours getting those hearts and all the items and stuff..now they are taken away from me...ITs silly what should have happened is that the max heart count should be taken down to 12...and anyone who had over 12 would lose the extra hearts...7 is silly...I could NEVER get thru Sardon's tower with only 7 hearts! Inless they make Sardon's tower less difficult with less things that hurt you, not alot of people will be able to get thru it..I had 10 hearts when I did it and I died alot...
