For most members of 4HM, Counter-Strike had begun to become a tiresome experience after a few years of play. The game was fun and intersting, but online play was less than satisfactory. Complaints, cries of hacking, questionable players, and arrogant opponents served to daily ruin what was otherwise an enjoyable time.

These things all seemed to change for the founding members when they stumbled upon the VET servers. They had found a community where players offered each other respect and good sportsmanship in a clean and pleasant atmosphere. With all of the annoying aspects of public play set aside, Counter-Strike garnered new interest and enjoyment.

Shortly thereafter, PaLaDiN and N*rtstar began joking about starting up their own new clan. While they were toying with the idea, a clan name "AoD" [Army of Darkness] was suggested. They laughed at the "evil" sound of the name and decided to create a clan name which was the exact opposite of the suggestion: FELP [Friendly, Earth-Loving People].

For the next few weeks this continued as a joke until PaLaDiN proposed that they make it a serious venture with his two personal real life acquaintances, veocOn and Orion. They named themselves the 4 HorseMen, or 4HM, and began recruiting. VeocOn set up a website for the clan and purchased the domain name www.4hm.net. However, as the clan began to grow, the name "4 HorseMen" didn't quite seem to fit any more. So, with the help of wejax [a.k.a. <VET>faucon] the name was changed to one that used the same letters, yet expemplified some of the virtues that the clan held dear:
4 Honor and Mercy.

Once the clan had grown to approximately 15 members, they decided to pool their resources and rent a server of their own. Through commitment and hard work, the 4HM server began to grow and attract new members on a daily basis. The clan admins were careful to stricly uphold their server rules in the interest of maintaining a clean and pleasant server atmosphere.

This dedication has paid off, earning regulars and visitors who often comment on their great appreciation for the well-maintained server and fair and considerate admins. As time has passed, 4HM has proven itself time and again to be a high quality community by attending to their forums, maintaining their servers and fearlessly trying new games and game types.

Thanks in no small part to the contribution of clanmates like 4HM | Deathsquad, 4HM | Smurfling and 4HM | Rock, 4HM has been known for providing high-quality alternatives to vanilla Counter-Strike, like the Warcraft III MOD, the Superhero MOD, and the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne MOD which was created by 4HM | Pimp Daddy.

The story continuous with innovations like XP databases which share experience across three servers simultaneously, unified ban listings, and organized cooperation with other existing clans have set 4HM apart from the rest of the Counter-Strike community.

Today, 4HM is dedicated to providing a clean and enjoyable community atmosphere for its gamers. To this end, members of 4HM, visitors on 4HM servers and participants in 4HM tournaments are required to follow a strict set of rules which govern conduct and sportsmanship. We believe that when people come together and enjoy gaming in a mature and respectable manner, great things can happen and much enjoyment can be had. 4HM continues to grow as a clan through smart choices, recruitment of quality members and a fearless attitude towards trying new things.
