WoW Armory down? Non stop NA redirects.

I have two issues, it is as follows:
Is the armory down? It seems like it is. I only get errors when trying to connect to character page?

When I connect to the WoW page eu.battle.net or Wow-europe.com I am always directed to the NA version of the homepage on the first attempt. Never fails. It is quite anoying having to enter the url twice. Any fix to this? I have attemtped to bookmark my character screen, and even tho the bookmark is an EU page, I am STILL connected to the NA server on first attempt.
Blizzard are too cheap to pay a few hundred dollars a year for access to a geolocation database, so they use browser sniffing to try and work out the most relevant homepage for you.

If your browser language is set to en_US, which most are by default, it will redirect you to the North American version of the homepage. If this is the case, you need to reconfigure your browser language to en_GB or one of the other European languages, then clear your browser cache and cookies, then restart your browser, before trying to go to the WoW homepage.
