Chribba Garmon Shadoo The Mittani Kill2
Of those I'd expect Chribba to be on pretty much everyone's list. Garmon for his videos, for his trolls and for his alliance tournament victories. Shadoo for alliance tournament commentary, legendary rage and for being so prominent in EVE politics. The Mittani for many things but primarily for the Mittani Dot Com. Kill2 for his videos, for his alliance tournament commentary and for his community activism.

Still not convinced this is market discussions material though.

Also, trust can be a product of fame for some people. But it really depends what you are famous for. From my list there is only one name that the common man would trust, even though most of the list are men of honor. |

But bringing a touch of reality and economic relevance to this thread, Grendell is extremely important. A lot of deals simply would not happen without Grendell and the other top-flight 3rd parties. Deliberately or by default, the trusted third party is an essential part of the EVE economy that bridge the gaps in CCP provided functionality.

If you want a list of blasts from the past then we'd have to roll out Hippoking, Dark Shikari, Ricdic... etc etc

Also, Istvaan Shogaatsu.
Although really his name is nowhere near as famous as his corp, possibly because nobody can pronounce or spell it. But when mentioned among veterans, it's normally followed by a chorus of "I started playing EVE because of him". I certainly re-subbed and had my second go at EVE because of him and have never left since. |

I have many personal achievements that I've managed to stumble into over my many years in EVE. I'd probably only be able to narrow that list down to two things, it would be:
1) This first would probably be, going from being a CEO of m0o, to making a full 180 and becoming a well known trusted carebear. m0o a very long time ago was an infamous pirate corp, known for being untrustworthy griefers. It was never the plan, I simply just got jaded with pvp, and needed a change.
Today I enjoy both sides of eve. But I still can't help but laugh at how my time in eve took me from one end of the spectrum to the complete other end of the spectrum.
2) The second would have to be, that I learned how to be a good leader. I seemed to always find myself in a leading role, but it took a long time before I actually became a good leader.
I had a lot of other small achievements from goals that I've set for myself, such as isk goals, ship goals, etc. But they didn't seem as significant to me.
EDIT: Random remark: Being CEO of m0o at the time gave me some of my best and worst times in EVE.

If I can talk about achievements: my biggest ones had not even been planned and probably not even deserved.
I started with a guy handing a then 2-3 months old newb some 43B worth of BPOs and other assets and CEO role (speaking about forum "famous", that affair did not even get to the forums for months) because he had to quit EvE for 2 months.
Totally accustomed at way larger "borrowings on the word" on other MMOs, I did not even think I'd have been "EvE smart" to just keep the stuff. So as he returned I gave him back the stuff and somehow that was seen as some great act.
Then I started reading the MD forums, back in 2009 I did not even know what a chart, a bond or an exchange was. Much less about what a security or a market were.
I did not plan that in in 2011, reading MD would cause me to become a RL trader and that allowed me to keep eating IRL and in Dec 2012 to be contacted by another RL trader to go work for him in his company at Tenerife.
Butterfly effect!
Last but not least achievement: one day I was sitting bored. Unable to stay committed to EvE enough to be part of my former lovely PvP corp (I quit without being asked, I felt being an inactive leecher) I decided to create a charity fund.
Because what could be more nonsensical and pointless in a cold, harsh game all around screwing the next guy than creating a damn charity? That thing CLEARLY had to be done, I am natural contrarian like that.
So, with no merit of mine, that is a grumpy, bored natural contrarian, generous Donors created content. Not game content, but *usable in RL content* in the form of several thousands of dollars of tangible help for the needy.

Market Discussions 2013, the right place for an EVE-O Celeb thread.
My Picks:
- The guy that anchored all the advertising cans "Fly minmatar Shuttles, why fly anything else, support your local dealer today!" ... (yes my hi-sec pilots use default overview and can's show up)
- Mintchiplol, the only known female that plays eve-online.

Any product/service endorsed by the celebs has great potential. People in fact are willing to blindly throw money at anything endorsed by characters like Grendell or VV. Exceptions are "celebs" like Bad Bobby and Riethe (who hasn't got a mention in this thread yet, I think) who are known for scamming. Happiness is a warm gun. |

I was reading this thread aghast that his name didn't turn up for so long. I started playing EVE becuase of him and I actually just reread the PC gamer article on a whim earlier today.

Nothing is lost though, as both those persons are highly intelligent and know their stuff. The former more on the business side the latter on group behavioral analysis.

Yeah it can be a pain. I am very careful with my words, and decisions. When I invest publicly I almost always use alts. So there's no lemming effect or implied endorsement.

Actually on a roam we had the other day with Helicity Boson actually showing up *gasp* perhaps not the biggest celebrity but not totally unknown. He did mention the drawback to his fame, everyone and their uncle wanted to kill him so he never could sneak through a system. And during our roam a lot of hi heli! in local was seen.
We figured we should put him in a tanky damnation with a cyno and just have him roam for us in the future and we can sit and watch **** while orbiting a titan. |

I'd like to add Liang Nureng's name to the celeb list. She'd left (read: banned during the Jita riots), but is back. I took part in the Free Liang campaign :)
Not sure about her market impact factor. She could potentially manipulate the market by posting fits or promoting modules. Which would be totally out of character, as the main reason for her fame is reliable, trustworthy advice.
Also want to mention Estel Arador. Though not active now iirc. And not sure what sort of market impact he/his corp had/has. Happiness is a warm gun, mama. |

Although really his name is nowhere near as famous as his corp, possibly because nobody can pronounce or spell it. But when mentioned among veterans, it's normally followed by a chorus of "I started playing EVE because of him". I certainly re-subbed and had my second go at EVE because of him and have never left since. I was reading this thread aghast that his name didn't turn up for so long. I started playing EVE becuase of him and I actually just reread the PC gamer article on a whim earlier today. Scans on it in here: http://eve.klaki.net/heist/

Now that we're here again: Caleb Ayrania - not sure if he's famous or the reason for his fame, though he's been around for a while and his posts are innovative and thought provoking. Think he's got an impact on the market, though not sure what :) Entity - Obsessive collector who has nearly all the items in Eve. Ricdic - of Eve Bank fame, probably not active any more.

Heard the same but that's just after his accs got taken down for RMT - clearing out ebank to pay for his mortgage was the story - so unsure i he started playing again later on ...

Speaking as someone who used to be famous (I think I can claim), but now is only really recognized by the "old boys club", I have to say I prefer my current situation.
For one, it's *a lot* less mails to have to deal with on a daily basis
Still, I adhere to the quote above (old habits die hard?) for some reason - Which is what prompted my to this post in the first place
One of the downsides of being famous (and perhaps being in a position of power - ie. alliance leadership or similar) is that you can hardly post anything, without someone coming along and dissecting your posts word for word. You almost need a lawyer to run through your posts each time, or risk having to explain/defend them 10 or 20 times over - Which becomes *very* tiresome. Unconsciously I think that's why I've almost stopped posting on the forums at all.

Tornsoul, It has been a long time. You were one of 3 people that ever gave me any real trouble in the domain market. I wouldn't even be surprised if one of the others was an alt of yours.
When I was actively playing I considered begin famous not a good thing. I spent a lot of effort hiding behind the scenes pulling market strings in Domain. 6 years of anonymous noob corp trading for this character. It never needed any good will or standing with anyone and in fact helped a lot imo to be anonymous.

It seems each era has its celebrities.. Its the long lasting that I find impressive, either for the fact that they are stubborn addicts or persistent personalities.
Chribba is ofc high on this list of Ancient ones, as is Molle and Grendel. Btw Thanks for the memory lane thing with Moo.
We have lost more epic personalities in EVE than most can recollect.
I would like a little honorary mention of Ragnar from TTI, and Tzadkiel from NAGA.
Back before Industry was serious Business TTI was raining down fire to get CCP to improve these things.
Back when most special items could not be traded on scc market NAGA supplied a lot of EVE with a very good trade service.

Worthy mention(s), Caleb. Having been a member of TTI during beta and very early after launch, I recall first-hand the influence Ragnar and TTI had on the development of business, industry and other aspects of the game. That experience helped fuel my own interest in and pursuit of industrial aspects of the game. |

I donGÇÖt mind saying that I am a fair bit (ok then a lot) in awe with these people who have such immense knowledge of this game and have acquired isk (I am guessing this is all for isk) to levels beyond my comprehension.
I wonder if this is knowledge that they have developed in game or that they deal with these areas in real life too and are just implementing the same strategies here. I've been in game a couple of years and most f it goes over my head. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

It's very little to do with ISK, any chimp can program a bot or macro and obtain billions paticularly if said bot has been running since eve beta. Older players have also obtained trillions simply by being in the game longer and back when ISK was much easier to come by. IE CCP giving out T2 BPO's in the lottery or when CCP devs were simply giving market advise out via comms to their friends, this still happens a lot but CCP has an official policy against it now.
Mittens, Chibra, Kugu and others are famous because they have influenced the game they have built community projects that involved players and motivated them to do things, they are famous because of this not because of ISK. |

Actually isk was much harder to make when us old timers started. Back then we worked our butts off for a month straight to get into a battleship. Today that can take minutes. Remember when the largest belt rat was a cruiser?

I know this might sound unbelievable but the reverse of the bolded sentence happened as well. I started EvE without knowing a single ounce about markets and economy, banks, bonds... Then I learned enough of that and applied that learning to RL and became a RL trader and now I deal with RL markets, economy, banks, bonds...

Not to mention that at release there was no battleships in game... Took a month or two before we got those.

That was not the worst part.. When BS came in that was when the greedy industrialists really committed an atrocity.. They all started to put mining lasers in all the high slots and chain mine belts at a rate that was crazy. Proper soldiers must have found this extremely offensive, its basically like grow flowers in a helmet. or Plowing with a broadsword..
Once we had our first 5 BS we ate belts and sold so much mineral that corp paid for all members to get in Battleships skills and all. It was the first few pilots that was the problem, after that it was smooth sailing.

Chribba Garmon Shadoo The Mittani Kill2 Of those I'd expect Chribba to be on pretty much everyone's list. Garmon for his videos, for his trolls and for his alliance tournament victories. Shadoo for alliance tournament commentary, legendary rage and for being so prominent in EVE politics. The Mittani for many things but primarily for the Mittani Dot Com. Kill2 for his videos, for his alliance tournament commentary and for his community activism.

Each can be a pro or a con depending on the situation. Still not convinced this is market discussions material though.
True, Your reputation precedes you but in this case the OP have nothing to worry about....
Or does he?
