This is a list of players who have made notable contributions to Atmoburn, or those whose deeds have found a place in the game's history. It is in large part compiled from individual articles.
General Quackor (also known by the shorthand "GQ") was a player who enjoyed a brief period of fame during his tenure in the instance 1 Technocratic Initiative faction. His avatar was a duck wearing a cadet cap. The term "quackstabbing" was inspired by his betrayal of his faction.
General Quackor was the key player in the events that closed the Technocratic Initiative Faction on Instance 1: Shattered Hope. He attacked and conquered the other members of his own faction, dominating and conquering anyone who attempted to join the faction. Eventually, the faction was closed by game administration to prevent further abuse, but not before Quackor had gained a substantial boost.
The result was the creation of the term "quackstabbing," a play on the word "backstabbing," which meant the fratricide of a player's entire faction. Later, after Quackor had retired, Darth Buttox created a "Quackstabbed" design for a line of merchandise in response to a call by Thunderstorm for submissions to go on T-Shirts.
General Quackor made his debut return in H3, joining once again, surprisingly, the Technocratic Initiative, he quickly went inactive as the TI were attacked by the Lost and later Scion. He has yet to return again in H4.
Thunderstorm is the owner, operator, and main developer of Atmoburn. He resides in Germany, but we like him in spite of that.
