Psi servers

Specific information

• Ikariam uses "s23" in its URL as the server designation for this world, no matter which community / language version you use.
  • Ikariam:
    • Used the Greek Alphabet ^WP as names for the first twenty-four worlds(1 – 24).
    • Used Greek Immortal deities ^WP as names for twenty-two (22) worlds;  twenty-five through forty-four, forty-eight and fifty (25 – 44, 48 & 50).
    • Used Greek Mortals ^WP and Mythological Creatures ^WP as names for four worlds;  forty-five through forty-seven, forty-nine, fifty-one through fifty-three (45 – 47, 49, 51 – 53).
• Ikariam used/uses a few specialty servers for the following reasons:
  • "Speed servers" (Closed) (not used often / reset after each session) - Special servers for when they need to test changes that occur at higher levels of the game and it would take too long at normal speed to reach them. These servers run at four times (4x) the normal speed when they are used.
  • "Test servers {[ 1  /  2  (Closed) /  3  (Internal use #1) /  4  (Internal use #2) /  5  (Internal use #3) /  6  (Internal use #4)]}," - Special servers for testing the beta ^WP patches before they go out to the live servers.
  • "War servers [ 1  (Closed - Rounds #1 – #7) (reset after each round - 1 per language group) /  2  (Permanent Round #8 - Open in most communities until 2028)]" - Special servers that run at three times (3x) the normal speed, allows Pillaging of gold and have a different set of rules when compared to normal game servers.

General information

Psi /'saɪ/ (uppercase Ψ, lowercase ψ) is the 23rd letter of the Greek alphabet ^WP and has a numeric ^WP value of 700.  In both Classical ^WP and Modern Greek ^WP, the letter indicates the combination /ps/ (as in English word "lapse ^WP").

For Greek loanwords in Latin and modern languages with Latin alphabets, psi is usually transliterated as "ps".

The letter's origin is uncertain.  It may or may not derive from the Phoenician alphabet ^WP.  It appears in the 7th century BC, expressing /ps/ in the Eastern alphabets, but /kʰ/ in the Western alphabets ^WP (the sound expressed by Χ ^WP in the Eastern alphabets).  In writing, the early letter appears in an angular shape. There were early graphical variants that omitted the stem ("chickenfoot-shaped psi".

The Western letter (expressing /kʰ/, later /x/) was adopted into the Old Italic alphabets ^WP, and its shape is also continued into the Algiz ^WP rune of the Elder Futhark ^WP.

Psi, or its Arcadian variant was adopted in the Latin alphabet in the form of “Antisigma” (Ↄ, ↃC, or 𐌟) during the reign of Emperor Claudius ^WP as one of the three Claudian letters ^WP.  However, it was abandoned after his death.

The classical Greek letter was adopted into the early Cyrillic alphabet ^WP as "Ѱ ^WP".
