You might be able to send a /petition with the arc name and number. I believe unpublishing the arc does not actually delete it from the server, it just makes it hidden. They *might* be able to republish it for you.
Local Mission Architect files are located in the City of Heroes/Villains install folder, in the Custom_Critter, CustomVillainGroup, and Missions folders. It should be fairly obvious what can be found where.
If you don't have the old install folder any more, there's nothing that can be done, aside from perhaps a /petition.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I thought I should update for those who may be uncertain of whether this is possible - support kindly restored my arc. There was a copy on the server. My issues with lack of local info hasn't been resolved completely, but they have been very helpful so far.
Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.
I returnethed uhhh, yesterday or the day before or something like that (I was one of those crazy people that left shortly before GR came out after I bought it, I may be the only one) to find my three arcs sitting there, and nothing in Local. Although I didn't catch on to this straight away. I know why there isn't anything in Local now, because I got a new computer. But, first thing I did after checking comments, was to unpublish one of them. Yeah...So, that's gone. It was definitely the arc I spent the most time on. But having only recently returned to the game and being unable to recall exactly how long I did spend on it, so I didn't get angry or kick anything. But I would like it back.
I tried to find the folder in which all that stuff is saved now to no avail (this was after I quickly went in on the other two arcs and saved them and all their custom characters), as well as where the old stuff was, as I transferred all My Documents from my old computer on to this one. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what I can do now?
