It took them a good five years to announce the sequel. Presumably because they had to scrap the entire bespoke game engine and redo everything from scratch. When I was there it was accepted as fact that the only path forward for a sequel was to start from zero and build a whole new engine because it was so bad.
I could go on for days about it, but I think the best example was the Character class. At one point it was over 27000 lines of code split across 5 separate files. Characters took up an astonishing fraction of the total cpu time, especially considering that you'd have a dozen or two characters in a world with thousands or tens of thousands of other entities.
