Does anyone know why InnoGames skipped the letter "i" when they named worlds?
Sure. Because every word that starts with an I sounds stupid.Maybe because I don’t sound normal.
There is no answer. Only Inno knows why.Does anyone know why InnoGames skipped the letter "i" when they named worlds?
InnoGames used Iota for US9 on Grepolis, which came out a couple years before FoE was released, so that seems unlikely. They also eventually used Ithaca, Idalium, Ialysos, Imbros, Istros, and Icaria over the course of about 150 worlds.Historically in data processing, "I" was frequently avoided because of possible confusion with "1".
I don't know that's the case here, but otherwise there's no reason not to.
Ithaca would make a nice name.
Maybe there’s no particular reason and they just didn’t feel like doing a world with I?InnoGames used Iota for US9 on Grepolis, which came out a couple years before FoE was released, so that seems unlikely.

My theory is that they intentionally did it to annoy meMaybe there’s no particular reason and they just didn’t feel like doing a world with I?
Out of curiosity.... how long have you been playing?My theory is that they intentionally did it to annoy me
I've been playing InnoGames games since about 2011. FoE since the game was officially released. This account since April 30th, 2014.Out of curiosity.... how long have you been playing?
I comes after H, and worlds are released in alphabetical order. Even when letters are skipped, it's still released in order
Houndsmoor was released February 17th - 2014. Can't find the announcement for Jaims, but that appears to have been released June 2014 based on Forum activity
So if you started playing anytime after June 2014.... then that'd be some serious dedication on InnoGames part to annoying you xD
Cool…. So *technically* you could be right xD you were around early enoughI've been playing InnoGames games since about 2011. FoE since the game was officially released. This account since April 30th, 2014.
