UPDATE: Status of Guild Launch Signature Generator
Recently Blizzard has been having alot of issues with Armory stability and accuracy. We believed that it was these issues that were effecting our signature generator. Recently Blizzard has improved, though not completely fixed, many of these issues and they are still not returning correct data to our signature generator.
We're now researching the possibility that our sig generator was so popular that Blizzard has actually blocked our access to the character XML data. As far as we know we would be the first site that they have actively blocked. The service was quite popular, but we were doing everything correctly (caching, etc.) to reduce our hits to their site as much as possible. I have a feeling that if they blocked us it was a knee-jerk measure in reaction to their recent stability issues.
Unfortunately, Blizzard has given us no response to our inquiries via the multiple support and contact avenues that we have. They don't respond any more promptly to us than anyone else, so we have something of an uphill battle.
Our assumption is that Blizzard has made a mistake in blocking us and we will be moving the sig generator to a new IP address in the next few days which will bring it back online. Thanks for your patience.
