Companies make a ton of changes typcially after buying an engine. people saying you can't fix x and X really have no concept of coding. You can fix anything by rewriting parts of the engine.
The formula 'two plus two equals five' is not without its attractions

Not only that, you picked a terrible single-threaded engine that can't even process commands before animations finish, hence all of the ability delay rage you're seeing. Seriously. Blizzard built an engine to fit their game, they're billions (trillions yet?) richer. You didn't, and you're missing out on Billions in part due to this decision. Why? I have personally used the Hero Engine for my MMO and I think BioWare made an excellent choice. Idea Fabrik keeps the HE up to date and includes a huge amount of support resources. HE is constantly evolving and without limitation. So, please, think (or research) before you speak.

Can you please provide us with sources to back up what you are saying? You should cite after you speak! It would make your claim more believable.

Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space...

I love that there is a huge discussion about the Hero Engine, when 99.9% of people have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what the engine even does. Perpetual Ignorance is hilarious.
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

Blizz didn't build the engine for WoW. They built the engine for WC3 then modified it for WoW.
