My sword is gone...
Redbull Ftw
I was in Ruins of Surmia Mission, had my HoD +5 energy swod equipped at second slot, charr was behind me I switch to wand (1st weopons slot) then I keep going forward, switch back to second.. and notice my sword isnt there.. I searched everywhere on ground, looked at chat to see if I dropped it, nada. Um.. so I am basically screwed?

Contact Anet support, telling them the time and place that this happened, as accurately as possible. You may well be screwed though.

I doubt it would have disappeared, even when something's removed <like the HOD swords> the ones still in game exist, etc. It could just be a technical problem. Contact em like Mish suggested.
If on the off chance when you switched the code deleted itself due to the "no longer in game" problem, you might be screwed.

Sorry to hear that you lost your sword. I lost mine too, but figured out that it had to do with some bad luck like salvaging or selling. I never thought about the possibilities Shimus mentions....

Thats weird but than again, we don't know what type of programs or coding that a-net used to remove HoD sword. So who know, maybe when you switch around your weapons, it automatically removed it. Or it's one of those crazy glitch that happened at random.

They didn't actually remove the sword at all. They removed the option to craft new swords. This game is coded in C++. That much I do know for sure.
This next part I'm not sure about but is just my guess. I think every item in the game is it's own object and not linked to a database description. Each item has it's very own description and characteristics. What leads me to believe this is items such as old superior runes that still have blue text or the green offhand that had it's mod changed at a certain point. The old modded items are still in the game with no change. The new items are just new objects of the same type with different characteristics. So the HoD collector just had the list of items it delivers changed. At any time ANet could put the HoD Sword back in the game deliverable by any collector or crafter from any location.

It was removed, for some reason. Maybe it was being bad!

Well, to be honoust, I never missed the sword for a day. But the fact that I lost it for some stupid reason.... It also had a mod with enchants last +19% longer (which were quite expensive in those days)
