What's up with WOW Armory? The link at the top directs you to
http://www.battlenet.com.cn/features/zh/landing/wow

and unfortunately it's all in Chinese...hubby never knew it was ever in English so he doesn't know where to look (and he's being pissy today)

Is it just being updated or is it gone forever?

The whole wow web interface has been adopted to the bnet system like Europe and us. It will be permanent just check the wow webpage.

Now it's here http://www.battlenet.com.cn/wow/zh/ you type your name in the white field and you are in. Sadly now it's all in chinese.
