There must be a massive hunt day

The frequency of playing among forum members has died significantly considering how many forum members there are playing. People who have been playing since launch day have been playing less and less; additionally, recent and old forum members have gotten mh3u for Christmas or recently, and the numbers of new players have been slowly increasing. I propose a date in which all forum members with access to mh3u online can play together in order to shorten this gap of new and old generation of mh3u players and to incite the hunting spirit.

The specific date, cities, etc can be discussed further in this thread. One rule to this hunting day is to limit rooms to sizes of 3, but keep the technical room size to 4 people. Why? This can be utilized to rotate hunters easily. The goal of this massive hunt is to introduce hunters to new people and establish a hunting relationship. When a hunter has played a few quests, s/he can easily move to another city and hunt with another group.

I'm up for that, the problem being, as it always has been, is time zones and other commitments though

That would be really cool, but it would be nice if it lasted more than just one day. A massive hunt week would be cool, but that might be a bit overboard.

This is a good idea saisan. I would definitely join in. For timezones, those on the opposite side of the world can play with people they still haven't hunted with in the same timezones. I would think a weekend would be best for those still in school and those that usually work on weekdays. Perhaps making this thread also a Poll to see how many users would actually participate? Brainstorm, we must. /ok/

Making a poll would be a good idea; people can pledge to come so we'll know who will come. Do you think we should reach a certain amount of people before we launch a date, or should we go with whomever joins?

We could have a hunt weekend to overcome the time zone issues.

Count me in

I'll keep this poll running for maybe a few weeks so we can have enough people to hunt with. I'd say we go for at least 3 or 4 groups of 3 people to keep it relatively big.

Would you guys rather have it be a Friday - Saturday event or a Saturday-Sunday event?

It would depend upon what day and time as to whether or not I can participate. I am interested in completing my G Rank quests though.

About 12 people seems like a decent number to start from, then the more the better.

I think there is around a 5-8 hour difference between the West and East hemispheres, so I think people living on the West Hemispheres should hunt in the morning to accommodate to East's time since they live in the future, so I could be playing at 11am or 12pm and it would be evening in the East. That way we can have at least 3-4 hours to hunt cross-regionally with less stress.

Okay, this is getting bigger now. So far we have:

Sai
Ata
Troy
Pain
Antari
Roon (?)
and Law

am I missing anyone or mistakenly put someone on this list?

Count me in, this could be fun after all~

I'm definitely in

I also think we should have room hosts that won't migrate into cities, but instead will just host the rooms (unless they need to leave, which they can just give the room to someone else). They won't have to move so it's easier for people to join in rooms without created one themselves. Anyone want to be a room host?

I'd gladly participate, the problem is, I lost my glasses. That might sound stupid, but there's something about my TV and Monster Hunter's Resolution on said TV that makes my eyes water and sore up if i'm not wearing my glasses. I'd jump right back in if I found them.

Well I dont have a WiiU so I cant be online. But best luck to you people :P

I was thinking the same thing Sai, we should have a room host for atleast the first few hunts. Then rotate or something, that way hosts could play with each other. And I'd gladly host a room.

Oright I forgot about the hosts playing with other hosts. Alright, we're almost at our goal. Then we can decide on what day to play. I have also noticed that January is usually the month where grades are finished for schools and finals are here for semesters. I'm not sure if this applies to anyone, but if it does, I think it deserves to be mentioned so we can find a date where it can fit into most if not all's schedule. I don't care about finals so it doesn't bother me what day it is as long as it's a weekend.


I also don't mind being a host, but that may not work out since I wake up at like 2pm on Saturdays, so I'll probably set an alarm clock  :nya: 

I shall join in the glorious hunt, my fellow comrades. We shall hunt for the glory of Mother Russia!
(Sorry for that, I felt a bit Russian)

All joking aside, I'm in. And if you need a spare host, I'm up for it.

Alright we need liike 2-3 more people and I think we're set.

I only really hunt with one other person these days, but if you can meet that requirement. sure why not.

I'd love too, but i only have 3ds unfortunately:(

It appears we have enough people now. How does January 24-26 look on people's schedule?

Sai, I appreciate you taking the initiative to set something like this up. It's really good to get involved.

But might I sugggest not closing it off because you feel you have enough people? The MHWikiForum has Set up Massive Hunt Days in the past that have gone quite well and if you are willing I would like to exstend an invitation to our companion sites to join us on Januar 24-26th and also have a post open to the whole forum.


Also for those who only have the 3DS version we can get them to set up local events for that weekend as well. A bit short notice but it could work.



What do you think?
