"[PMOH], the most hardcore and
dedicated Medal Of Honor players on the internet" -

The Planet Medal
of Honor Guild, or [PMOH] as its become more commonly
known, was formed over three years ago by members of
the forums at
PlanetMedalOfHonor.com.
It was named as a Guild rather than a clan because the
intention was to provide a place and a server where
friends played for fun, not to compete in team ladders
or leagues. Although the Guild has competed in
The Honor League,
with great success, the fun and fair ethos of the group
still exists to this day.
Back then the only requirement for acceptance into the
Guild was 200 posts at the Planet forums but, as time
has passed and the membership numbers have swelled,
entry into the Guild is by invitation only. A lot of
close friendships have been built over that period of
time and, for many members, they are just as important
as the people they regard as friends in real life. The
membership base is predominantly made up of North
American members but [PMOH] is a truly global Guild,
boasting members from the UK, Holland, South Africa
(although living in the UK) and Australia. We also have
several members who are currently overseas, serving with
the armed forces. We wish them safe passage and hope
that they can return home soon.
During its existence the Guild has reinvented itself
several times for reasons both good and bad but the
friendships that have been forged over the 4 years and
the love of the Medal Of Honor series of games has kept
the group together. There are certain members whose
tireless work behind the scenes often goes unmentioned
so a special thanks must go to Wonder Boy, Wolf-Man and
Talon. These guys epitomise the Guild spirit and have
provided us with our forums, website, skins and servers
amongst other things.

In late 2003 the Guild adopted the
motto Esprit De Corps as it was felt that this best
described the group. The meaning of this motto is
'the common spirit existing in the members of a group
and inspiring enthusiasm, devotion, and strong regard
for the honor of the group'.
January 2004 saw one of [PMOH]'s finest moments when we
were selected as the first ever team to play the EA
developers in a friendly scrimmage. The Guild won all
three maps and it was this comprehensive victory that
earned the quote that you see at the top of the page.
Most recently, in late 2004/early 2005, a change
happened that proved to be the biggest since the Guild
began. The latest release in EA's Medal of Honor series,
Pacific Assault, had hit the stores and with the
interest in Spearhead waning, the Guild were hopeful
that this would breathe new life into the series that
brought all the members together in the first place.
Unfortunately it wasn't to be, the game was plagued by
bugs and internal disputes at EA with the latter heavily
delaying the release of patches. Guild members and
regulars were not impressed and so the server lay empty
and devoid of life. A brave decision was made to move
away from the Medal of Honor series and that is where
you find us today, we now have one server running a
variety of games from Battlefield 2 to Day of Defeat
Source With so many interesting games on the horizon the
chances are that the server line up may change again.

[PMOH] has always been about fair play and the server
admins take pride in making our servers a fun, friendly
and fair place to play where newcomers are welcomed but
attitude is not tolerated. We have a list of server
rules that were put into place so that people will know
what's expected of them when they play on our servers
and you can read these by clicking on the 'Rules' link
in the navigation bar at the top of this page. If you
experience trouble of any kind on the [PMOH] server
please contact one of the server admins or the Guild
Council through the forums, we will be happy to address
any issues you have and try to resolve them quickly.
Additionally, if you have any comments or suggestions
regarding what we could be doing to make the website,
server or forums better, then please feel free to
contact us.
Our server is paid for by the kind donations of Guild
members and regular players and you can contribute by
clicking the Paypal link on the homepage, all donations
of all sizes are gratefully received.
Well, that's about it......for now!

Time marches on and since the original copy of this
history was written some members have moved on to other
things, most notably Wolf-Man and Wonder Boy. As stated
earlier without the contributions of these two (amongst
others) we would not have what we do today and you
wouldn't be sitting there reading this. They may be
consigned to the history annuals of [PMOH] but they will
always be Guild members and, more importantly, friends.
We wish them all the best.
