How much if any of the Hero engine remains in the game?

Does anyone know? Did they use it only for sculpt the world or did they rip some networking code from it as well?

I have serious performance issues especially in PvP and one would think this s**t would have been sorted out by now if they knew what they were doing.. but then I came to think of if they use someone else engine code then perhaps they have no clue of how to fix it?

Did they say anything about this?

They said they used it or early concepts and prototyping while they built their own engine. But contrary to popular belief creating the engine does not man you know all about everything in it that will go wrong all the time. It also does not mean it is a simple fix.

Money quote:

so while we were prototyping the game on HeroEngine, we were simultaneously developing our own client, server, and messaging layer that were specifically designed with ESO in mind. Think of HeroEngine as a whiteboard for us – a great tool to get some ideas in the game and start looking at them while the production engine was in development.

Well to a point a agree, but if you do it yourself you hopefully also do a good documentation and error handling system so it should be easier to fix than a system you buy from someone else...

KhajitFurTrader Ok thx. Love your name btw Would be even funnier if you used - between the words as they do ingame
