Character render 403

Has the alternate character render format changed and I missed it?

This generates a 403 forbidden instead of the generic image:

ht tps://render-us.worldofwarcraft.com/character/ravencrest/104/31767656-avatar.jpg?/wow/static/images/2d/avatar/4-0.jpg

I’ve got many more examples; seems plenty of guilds are packed with old characters whose renders aren’t working.

Edit: had to bodge the image address to get past the guards.

Hi Genrall,

You are missing the ?alt query param.

https://render-us.worldofwarcraft.com/character/ravencrest/104/31767656-avatar.jpg?alt=/wow/static/images/2d/avatar/4-0.jpg would be the correct URL.

You can find more information about the fallback images in our documentation here.

Well how did I miss that …?
