game development takes time, especially when the actual creators of the engine and game claim the achieved feat was "impossible".

also one thing that made it “impossible” was cause skyrim was designed to be single player, and singleplayer games tend to make a lot of assumptions that arent true on multiplayer games (and thus are extremely hard to reengineer to make multiplayer). one example is quest data - usually global flags are used to determine status on a quest, but for multiplayer youd have to assign these flags to a client and use those instead. although not difficult per se, its a huge amount of effort considering how many quests there are in skyrim and all the possible way they interact with the world.
