Just clarifying, the way back to the War Seas would be the same length as it is now?

Yeah
It is a 1-way speed boost
we already have the rough seas that will tear apart low ships, and you can steer out of the highways because youre suddenly like “oh shit dangerous area im not ready for”
Highways are a good idea, but we better find something more connected to the lore. For example, the highways will be client-sided, and only unlocked after the first awakening, as if Poseidon himself creates those for you.
Plus, it would solve the issue of new players finding them

I like this idea
Good idea. I think “water currents ” would fit the theme better. In exchange for lets say doubling the movement speed, it should halve the steering so that players are more likely to run into obstacles. I think in addition to the preset ones in each axial direction/corner, there should be water currents that can spawn randomly in the dark sea, so that sailing becomes less one-note praying to rng and requires more decision making.

Possible (mockup) visuals of the highways?
I prefer the first one.

i was thinking more like a larger trail similar to the one your ship leaves by the highways but this works too
it’s just the issue with that trail; it’d look farrrr too repetitive, this can be proven by it already being repetitive in the short distance behind your ship.
the first one would be better with maybe 1.1x faster animation speed, aside from that it’s great
please the game needs this
also it might be interesting if the current meandered a bit, so to get the full effectiveness you would have to steer your ship properly
