  Checklist before joining a “new” server

  1. When was the server created? – “New” means ≤3 months old for competitive fresh start.
  2. What is the wipe policy? – Do they plan wipes every 6 months? Never?
  3. Who is the admin? – Known in the community or anonymous?
  4. Is source code available? – Some open‑source projects (e.g., on GitHub) are more trustworthy.
  5. Do they ask for real personal info? – If yes → avoid.
  6. Test with dummy account – Use a throwaway email and unique password.
  7. Check recent downtime – Ask in their Discord about uptime over the last month.
  • Ikariam X (iX): Known for extreme speeds (100x+) and chaotic gameplay. Towns build in minutes, wars last hours.
  • Ikariam Reborn: Attempted a classic “old-school” version without modern UI changes or premium features. Intermittently active.
  • Greek Ikariam Private Servers: Several Greek-language servers have maintained small, loyal communities focused on diplomacy rather than pure speed.
