Entity
From EVE History
About
Entity, is one of the more wealthy (and probably insane) individuals in the world of EVE.
His assets come mostly from trading, tech2 blueprints, and an activity known as "escrow camping" where one sits in a station refreshing escrow frequently in the hope of spotting someone having put up valuable items for free or an otherwise incorrect price. Unfortunately the recently implemented Contracts system spelled the end of escrow camping.
Item Collection
Entity is most famous for owning a collection of over 5,000 distinct items that took over three and a half years to grow to that size.
He owns many of EVE's most rare and obscure items:
- Megathron Federate Issue
- Armageddon Imperial Issue
- Silver Magnate
- Guardian Vexor
- CONCORD Modified Cloaking Device
- Trinary Data
- Trade Session
- Blaze M
You can track the collection progress on his website[1].
Other stuff
Other possibly interesting achievements include:
July 24, 2003
First cargo container sign ever, spelling "XFI" (the corp ticker of Entity's corporation; X-Factor Industries), at the Nonni stargate in New Caldari. (A gate which has since been removed due to changes to the map). The sign lasted for about 3 months before GMs forced Entity to remove it as it was apparently causing too high load on the server.
January 19, 2004
First coloured character biography. Apparently nobody else had figured out the hidden colour codes yet at that time. Not much later on, the biography editor became a HTML editor, allowing easier access to colours, however it has less colours to choose from, limiting creativity.
January 24, 2004
Multi-line cargo container ASCII art. With some trickery it was possible to have multiple lines of text as a label for a cargo container, enabling you to make rather nice little pieces of ASCII art in space!
July 23, 2005
First pilot to posess a capital ship, an Obelisk freighter[2]. Entity used this ship to his advantage to dominate the most profitable trade routes for quite some time.
