you must have been typing in wowarmoUry.com - which does redirect to the gold selling page. wowarmory.com takes you to the correct site. Just remove the U from the word ARMOURY.

Nope...
I'll provide a screenshot....Two of us in califormia at different locations have it bookmarked, and have used those bookmarks for nearly two years, and it shows up the same way for both of us.
Using the correct spelling...
But, I appreciate you checking...maybe some DNS servers have the wrong info then.
EDIT: Here is a virgin screenshot....Didn't know how else to share it...Zoom in on the URL and stuff....

the wowarmory url does lead to the godaddy hosting site, as it seems Blizzard forgot to renew or something.
You can still use armory.worldofwarcraft.com or the IP Address

It would be interesting if people would post where they are, when they say if it works for them.
Maybe it is a regional thing?
I believe suicidal is UK, so that would be an interesting data point. And knife is cali, just like me. (Knife isn't the second person I mentioned, so we have 3 in cali that see it pointing to a wrong place.)

http://www.wowarmory.com/ takes me to the warcraft armory. No goldselling here.

DNS resolve ripple I think. probably needed to renew the domain or something else, it should work out eventually.

it will eventually fail (point to the parked site) for everyone. DNS updates take time to ripple through the net. And when Blizzard fixes this by the incredibly technical step of renewing the domain it will ripple back out.

I see you don't have the www in front of it, maybe that's the issue.
However, if I try typing in wowarmory.com I'm redirected to www.wowarmory.com - could be you're hitting a snag that causes the redirecting not to happen.

No, it wasn't. I never type www, unless the site for some reason doesn't support the non-www name, which then my response is "lame", an I continue on.
From the way things were happening here, it looked like a DNS error that was spreading through some DNS servers, once they got cleared, everything was OK again.

Well, yesterday from home, eu.wowarmory.com (as linked from the official EU site front page) didn't resolve for me, but I could use armory.wow-europe.com to access it. It's all resolving fine for me right now, however. There was some hiccup or other last night- but with DNS, propagation, caching and the phase of the moon means that your mileage frequently varies (before people get into a "no it isn't"/"yes it is"/"you suck"/"ur a noob" boreathon :-).

It is working correctly now, from work (40 miles from home).

DNS resolution can take up to 48 or so hours to be fixed.

Try it, but you need sound. I go there at least once a week when I need inspiration. Sometimes leave it running in the background for entire BGs :grin:

Depends what floats your boat :-)
The late, great Bill Hicks in his last recorded performance, in London, on the subject of weather:
I'm living out in Los Angeles now so, you know, I like coming over here, you know, for the weather- you guys have weather. Cool.
Los Angeles, every day, hot and sunny, today, hot and sunny, tomorrow, hot and, for the rest of the... hot and sunny, every single day, hot and sunny. And they love it.
"Isn't great, every day, hot and sunny?"
What are you, a f**king lizard?
Only reptiles feel that way about this kind of weather. I'm a mammal, I can afford coats, scarves, cappuccino and rosy cheeked women.

Here is the key.....He STAYED there, until his brothers moved him to Arkansas after they found out he had cancer.
