Graphics engine update?

[Bozao]

Would it be possible to somehow update the game engine? Currently, some older games are doing this, and by fan base, such as Line Age 2 and WoW itself, which are being updated for UE 4 and 5.

Use the latest Sildurs enhanced raphics mode. I´m using it right now and game looks much better now. I set optimal distance for depth of field filter and it looks just gorgerous.

Sadly team is small and with limited resources it is impossible to just "reskin" game in to UE4/5.

This may surprise you, but WoW developers have access to the WoW source code, unlike the ROR team. And WoW has thousands of paid developers, while this game was developed by a few enthusiasts.

An engine change may not be necessary, but a pack of textures rescaled by AI would not be a bad idea.

Yes, I understand perfectly... in this case what is probably preventing it is the fact that they don't have the source code, since L2 for example is being remade by its fans...

Linage2 sourcecode got stolen in 2004, check wikipedia.

Expanded Textures via AI sounds interesting, sounds...
Game is 32 bit, so about 2 gb possible memory, and designed for graphic cards with max 768 mb memory. This is more or less max, even with already activated LAA, because of internal structures. If you would expand textures to double details (4 times as much memory needed), memory would expand over all limits for 32 bit. Game engine would be forced heavily to replace textures. Fps would drop to unplayable state.
