    I'd like to loudly second the need for new meditation bubbles for the original races. They're so boring compared to the Earthguard, Tideborn and Nightshade ;; My poor cleric needs something shiny to show off her wings more.

    Theoretically, when they re-hired the original developers of the game a year and a half ago, they were supposed to be working on updating the client to using the new Angelica engine to improve performance and compatibility with newer systems.
    Following that, they talked about updating the visuals and doing new mo-cap animations.

    The difference being that coding it for Angelica III only requires a few changes and will be much easier to re-texture.
    Using a different engine would mean building the game entirely from the ground-up all over again. No developer in their right mind would do that.​​

    Some developers did... But I think that was before a game was even released, but they basically finished the game already, but due to it being horrible they decided to go from scratch.
    So, they do, just rarely I suppose.

    I can't recall what game the article was about though​​
