It's only up in the sense that we can go into it and publish. We cannot create anything new right now though. I would REALLY love an update on the status from Cryptic.
The foundry should absolutely be available to use when the game servers themselves are down. Maybe not a full offline version, I can see the concerns regarding that, but if the foundry used a separate login/path/channel/whatever, so we could work in the foundry while the game servers are being worked on, that would ROCK!…
Great post! Thanks! Also I would add that it would be neat to have an in game monster manual or almanac with a space for notes for each creature, so we could make note of what worked when in battle, etc.
