Well, if it was west HCL, I'd help out but I get the impression it is not. There are methods of self muling available on the realms.
The most tried and true is to simply make a private game. Burn it in for 5 minutes or so, then commence muling. B.net will keep the game open for a few minutes even if there is no player in it, as long as the game has been burned in for the first 5 minutes.
Now, this method is not completely fool proof, and *very rarely* your game will be gone when you try to come back, but it does the job fairly well. Also, be sure not to leave/enter the game too quickly(leave say 5 seconds between each join/leave) or Blizzard's bot detector will pick you up and temporarily ban you from B.net. I've had this happen to me twice, and boy did that teach me a lesson.
