Ypsilon servers

Specific information

• Ikariam uses "s20" 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 (24) worlds;   one through twenty-four (1 – 24)
    • Used Greek Immortal Deities ^WP as names for twenty-six (26) worlds;   twenty-five through forty-four, forty-eight, fifty, fifty-two, fifty-six, fifty-eight and sixty (25 – 44, 48, 50, 52, 56, 58 & 60)
    • Used Greek Mythological Figures ^WP (Deified Mortals ^WP, Kings ^WP, Notable Women ^WP and Minor figures ^WP) as names for five (5) worlds;   forty-five, fifty-three through fifty-five and fifty-seven (45, 53 – 55 & 57)
    • Used Greek Mythological Creatures ^WP as names for two (2) worlds;   forty-six and forty-nine (46 & 49)
    • Used Greek Mythological Heroes ^WP as names for three (3) worlds;   forty-seven, fifty-one and fifty-nine (47, 51 & 59)
• Ikariam used/uses a few specialty servers for the following reasons:
  • "Speed servers" (1) (Closed) (not used often / reset after each session) - Special servers for when they needed to test changes that occurred at higher levels of the game and it would have take too long at normal speed to reach those higher levels of game play or researches
  • "Global / International / Pangaia servers" (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5) - Special server for players from ALL language communities to play together on the same server
    • These servers are currently located at the

Statistical information

• The Active Ypsilon world makes up:
  • 1.6667 % of the 60 named worlds, excluding the specialty (Speed, War, Pangaia, Asphodal and Test ) servers
  • 4.1667 % of the 24 named (used) Greek alphabet servers
• Ypsilon is Active in 0 communities
  • YpsilonC (s20c) was Closed in 2 communities
  • YpsilonE (s20e) was Merged in 16 communities
• This means that there would be a Total of 18 YpsilonT (s20t) world servers if none were Closed nor Merged
  • The Active worlds represent:
    • 0 % of the 75 total Greek alphabet servers
    • 0 % of the 191 player accessible servers, excluding the specialty (Speed, Test and War) servers
    • 0 % of the 225 total player accessible servers
    • 0 % of the 254 grand total number of all of the world servers
  • Each Active individual community that has the Ypsilon server is Division by zero. % of the group of 0

• Ikariam Ikariam has rendered the letter "Ypsilon" instead of "Ypsilon", because it is the common transliteration in German and many other languages, and more accurately reflects the pronunciation of the letter's name in classical times. The use of the y (upsilon) does not indicate that the letter's name is pronounced like the English word "my" [mai], but rather contains the sound of the French vowel u (as in "tu") or the sound of the German u with an umlaut (ü).

General information

Upsilon (uppercase Υ, lowercase υ; symbol variant: ϒ, Greek: Ύψιλον) is the 20th letter of the modern Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 400. It is derived from the Phoenician waw.

In early Greek it was pronounced like English oo, IPA: [u] . In Classical Greek, it was pronounced like French u or German ü, IPA: [y] — a sound that is not found in most dialects of English. In Modern Greek it is pronounced like continental i or English ee, IPA: [i], and in diphthongs, [f] or [v]. In ancient Greek it occurred in both long and short versions, but this distinction has been lost in Modern Greek.

As an initial letter in Classical Greek it always carried the rough breathing (equivalent to h) as reflected in the many Greek-derived English words, such as those that begin with hyper- and hypo-. This rough breathing was derived from an older pronunciation which used a sibilant instead; this sibilant was not lost in Latin, giving rise to such cognates as super- (for hyper-) and sub- (for hypo-).

Upsilon participated as the second element in falling diphthongs, which have subsequently developed in various ways: for instance after alpha or epsilon it is pronounced [f] or [v].

The Roman Emperor Claudius proposed introducing a new letter into the Latin alphabet to approximate the sound of upsilon, but in due course the letter Y was adopted instead.

The name of the letter was originally just υ. It changed to υ ψιλόν, (u psilon, meaning 'simple u') to distinguish it from οι, which had come to have the same [y] pronunciation. The name of the letter in modern Greek is pronounced /iː'psɪlɒn/ (in contrast to the letter Ε, which is pronounced /ɛ'psɪlɒn/). It is also rarely called "ypsilon" (/ɪ'psɪlɒn/) in English because of its resemblance to the Roman letter Y.

Four letters of the Latin alphabet arose from it: V and Y and, much later, U and W. In the Cyrillic alphabet, the letters U (у) and Izhitsa (ѵ) arose from it.
