It's "elder game", guys. The day this game gets an actual "endgame" is when BW pulls the plug on the servers. MMORPGs don't have an "end".

Translation: I do not understand the resources, money, or time necessary to completely remake the game, nor do I have the knowledge of game engines to know that this is not a simple process; therefore, I will make this demand, as well as touting to be a "community representative."

They were using it until they could get their own engine up and running, so that they weren't needlessly blocked until they could work in their own engine. http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com...Comment_895414 http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featur...eroengine.aspx It still reads to me as the same thing that SWTOR is using, an engine build from base of HeroEngine. So As I was saying, it is not using Heroengine, in the same way SWTOR is not using HeroEngine. They both use their own custom engines that have their basis in HeroEngine. SWTOR's engine however was based on a much less stable and finished version of HeroEngine, so it has problems that TESO's engine doesn't.

Which is exponentially more. The reverse is true when you know more, you incrementally gain awareness of what you don't know. It's typically humbling for me at least. I develop custom apps for work and have devved on api's for medical devices, but I know nothing about game development beyond the basic tool sets and likely challenges.

SWTOR's engine however was based on a much less stable and finished version of HeroEngine, so it has problems that TESO's engine doesn't. Except it's not. They used it for prototyping. They loaded up the Hero Engine, imported some of their assets and tried out some ideas. Then when their own engine -- not based on or built on top of the Hero Engine -- was far enough along they threw away the Hero Engine and put all of their assets into their own engine instead. It's like building a prototype with a 3D printer during the design phase, and then for final production having it machined in a factory. The 3D printer isn't being used for the final product.

I do this stuff for a living and I can assure you, it is an easy process. There's no reason for BioWare to give us an expansion without upgrading the engine to something new. Absolutely. No. Reason. Okay, no I don't. I'm an author. I don't know jack or $#%@ about the development or engine ends of a game. Hell, I'm glad I was able to eventually figure out InDesign. I just wanted to sound like so many others at these forums.
