Wasn't L3 supposed to be NC Soft's first attempt at developing the game entirely in house by building their own game engine from scratch?

Instead of licensing CryEngine like they did for Aion and Unreal Engine 3 for Blade & Soul, producing their own engine for specific use in MMORPG's would not only have generated revenue from game sales, but also the licensing of their engine to other developers. I suspect the API and code for the engine that's being developed has been leaked, not just the game that is being built upon the engine. Perhaps this is where their 1bil estimate came from...
