Gunters are OASIS users from around the world who spend all of their time searching for Halliday's Easter Egg. Although many OASIS users have claimed to be a gunter at one point in time, the actual number began to dwindle over the years. As time went on and the first clue had not been cracked, it appeared that the Easter Egg Hunt was a myth created by Halliday's madness in his final months.
Gunters can either embark upon the quest alone or join a gunter clan; although gunter clans provide camaraderie and support among members, belonging to one stipulates that in the event a member cracks a clue or finds the Easter Egg, they will be required to share the information across all other members. For both of those reasons, many gunters either chose to embark upon the quest alone, with a small group of friends, or join a clan. Gunters mentioned by name include: Wade, Aech, Art3mis, Daito, Shoto, and i-R0k.
Gunters study Halliday's writings and biography looking for clues that may help them in their quest for the Egg. For some gunters, this spills over into an obsessive pursuit of "old" technology, videogames, music, and other relics of decades of Halliday's childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood, the 1980's and 1990's

Umbrella was a giant conglomerate which operated ruthlessly as a major international player in a number of markets; including pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, as well as top-secret operations utilizing genetic engineering and biological weaponry. The company also had a more benevolent public face for the ignorant masses, producing cosmetics, consumer products and foods.
A subsidiary of Umbrella operated as a malevolent paramilitary organization. This division of the corporation maintained a highly trained security force capable of rescue, reconnaissance, and paramilitary operations. They used a variety of vehicles, including HUMVEEs. Complementing this security force was an air wing, which maintained a fleet of UH-60 Black Hawks, AV-8 Harrier VTOL jets, C-130 Hercules water-landing capable cargo planes, CH-53 Sea Stallion cargo helicopters for transporting prisoners and MH-6 Little Bird attack helicopters. The corporation utilized these resources in order to secure and protect its assets, as well as its high profile employees.
