I really hope darkness is a thing in MH6. They experimented with it in early builds for World but cut it from the final game for some reason.

That's pretty cool. I never played MH3, but I hope you people have a wonderful time and that this can get new players into the game. Private servers were a huge help in me trying out Phantasy Star Online and with how healthy those servers tend to be, I have a high hopes that this will take off :)

This is amazing, so long ago i played on loc lac and made friends that now are not here because of the dissapearence of online, i even made a forum for the team.

Tri on Wii was my intro to the series. It was a great time to get into it that I still remember fondly. Meeting Deviljho for the first time with that bloody Qurupeco... I was a terrible hunter though. I remember timing out after 50 minutes on a Diablos quest more than once. Somehow I eventually got carried through an Alatreon quest. I did dump my Wii disc and saves years back, so I might pop in eventually to try it out again. Hopefully I've learned a thing or two from 4U, Gen, GU, World, Iceborne, Rise and Sunbreak.

[@Icy-nee-san]

Me and my friends have been playing it for the past week, and while its cool seeing Loclac and experiencing Tri, it has made us appreciate later mohun quite a bit more

[@DylanBFishkeeper]

Holy cow...Tri was the first game that I ever really played online, and to top it off it was my introduction to the Monster Hunter franchise. In case the profile pic didn't give it away, it became my favorite game franchise that I sunk countless hours into, building friendships with online communities for the first time. When the servers shut down, I was sad. Sure, we had 3U and 4 by then, but the clan I had rolled with for years, The Bacon Brigade, had never exchanged contact info outside the game. I was a low rank hunter just hopping online for the first time when I had these 3 higher ranks join my lobby. We goofed off, added each other as friends, and played regularly for years. When the server went down, that was the last I heard from those guys I had spent so many hours with... While time has passed and the Bacon Brigade is now only a fond memory, knowing that others have a chance to experience the same today is incredible. Looks like DRAKOS from the Bacon Brigade may have to log back in and check out the old stomping grounds! To the team who made this happen, a huge thanks, and thank you for spreading the word about this monumental project!

[@Octavizor]

I was ten when this game came out, I played the one that came out right after, growing up with monster hunter it’s great to see my older friends get to be kids with their friends again
