I was in the middle of playing around with some of the tools in the foundry, when the game crashed. When I attempted to log back in, my test character was gone.

The option to make a new one is greyed out, so I can't get back in there.

They temporarily disabled the Foundry to fix some bugs

To be more specific, the servers are hammered and they need to improve the architecture surrounding how people access and publish data.

The Foundry itself is quite good but the components surrounding it need buffing due to popular demand.

Ah... gotcha. Thanks.

I just got kicked too. Am excited about all the choices though! Xmas has come early!

Thanks for beating me to the response, folks.

The Create Content button / New Character while on the Create Content tab will become clickable when the Foundry is activated again. I do not have an ETA on the next Open Beta test, but we will post an announcement on the forums when it happens.

0-o I'm still in the editor... it didn't kick me.

Sounds like you got the load/stress testing aspect done already. You can see now just how amped players are for this feature. Pity I wasn't able to have a look before I could get home from work.

well I think that puts an end to any stipulation that foundry was a bad idea and only developers
should make missions :p

That has been replaced with.....OMG .....must...make....it....bigger, need more processing power.

so ends Dec 2 with the total migration of the holodeck population to Tribble
poor Tribble

meow

What's awesome is how intuitive you can make some missions.

I saw quite a few labors of love during Closed Beta - ones that easily competed with the best developer missions (aside from maybe the most recent weekly series).
