Coding takes a ton of time and work. It really is exhausting, and half the time once you have written the code it responds or implements itself in really weird ways, ways that you never intended it to, and have no idea why it did what it did. Consider again that this is such a monumental effort for something no-one involved is getting paid for on a regular basis and the wait times are understandable.
Took a few comsci courses in high school and uni, decided it was way too much work required of you that would ultimately be taken for granted by everyone else.
Anyways, the point of this was that I had thought I had seen the option to travel by sea with one of my chars on EI when I had just started them, had even talked with other members of the realm about the potential of sea travel to help us in our war, which were rebuffed not because it wasn't implemented, but because they weren't feasible. But later when I went to check on the possibility of another sea route the option wasn't there, making me seriously question my sanity.
