Hello everyone.
Back when I created Masked Armory in 2008, I never thought it would reach the level of popularity that it has. Masked Armory is closing in on 400,000 profiles created in 9 years! That is quite a feat for one website for one particular game, especially when it has to deal with the rather grey area of game account sales.
Anyways, on to the big news. Masked Armory has received a massive speed/usability update!
[GEEK/PROGRAMMER INFORMATION PAST THIS POINT]
The website was originally built using PHP and the MVC framework Laravel, with a mySQL data store. This was my major skill set back when I redid the site in 2012. Now, the site is a 100% SPA (single-page application). It is using a Node.js backend, Aurelia frontend, and MongoDB data store. Given this newer tech and hopefully some better programming skills that I have picked up over the years, you should notice that the site is a lot more responsive to requests and the page load for an armory has gone from 8-10 seconds to 1-2 seconds.
I want to thank you all for your support of Masked Armory over the years. You can start to generate new profiles at http://legion.[dead website]. Once all of the bugs have been ironed out on the new site, I will be shutting down new profile creation on the http://www.[dead website], but still maintaining all old profiles.

Hope you all like the changes!
