*cough* monsterhunter *cough* Real life - Page 2

Can't believe it's been three years since I last came on here. Time really does fly. Coming back to this forum reminds me of when I used to play MH on my PS2, the nostalgia is killing me
Nowadays my game and my PS2 just sit around collecting dust. Haven't played MH in so long I don't think I could even take on a Velocidrome now.
Anyways, how you guys been? I doubt anyone really remembers me very well but I was kinda active back in the year of 2008. I'm 16 now and every time I read one of my older posts I slap myself because of how immature I used to be.
Nice to see some old names (Admiral) still posting here. Keeping this forum alive. Barely. =/

Hi veteran hunters, I own and used to play monster hunter tri for the wii, and I'm partially active over in that forum nowadays. I was wondering if there was anything left of the first monster hunter forum, and I don't see any names I recognize from the forum I'm used to.


I guess getting to the point would be warranted. I was using this forum as a picture of things to come for the tri forum T_T... it has a grim future ahead. At best right now messages are added on a weekly basis and new threads come and go... We recently lost the necessity for a moderator there, and so it's been bleeding to death since.

Did any of you guys move on to the newer monster hunter games?(Admiral)

Hey there (wildfire)
Around 2003 (junior high) I remember seeing my first glimpse of Monster Hunter in a gaming magazine my friends had called GMR. Did a full scale 4 page cover of it. I believe it came out the year I was a freshman in highschool, 2004. I had been waiting for it for a long time and immediately went and purchased it. I started using the forums here during class the following year for fun and got hooked. The game had been out for a year already and posting was huge... We actually were the top PS2 thread for almost 2 years back then and was rated as one of the best communities on the boards. We had 2 mods and that was when they were scarce. People came and went but for the most part i remember everyone sticking around until my senior year about 2007'ish. That was also the same year they shut down the online servers for MH2. Nothing to do with popularity of the game, simply that the servers hosting it had their contract expire.
As soon as 2007 came we seriously lost about half of our casual posters. Like people came and went prior to that but the servers being shut down was a waking call to the rest of us. Not much the rest of us could do. from there on I check these boards roughly 2-3 times a year. Sometimes we get stray noobs who found the game and us lurkers send advice but now I only see people who are looking for the PSP versions or TRI.
etc

This forum is gone and dead but me and about 3-5 others still login and update each other about our lives. I had a really great time but nothing lasts forever and i've moved on to other forums and other forms of entertainment.

For those wondering I did play MH1 last week and killed a rathalos for old times sake. The graphics are getting rough! ahahah

I also do have a PSP and I played MH freedom 2 and unite. I would've played tri if I had a wii.
If it comes out for ps3/ps4 i'll definitely pick the game back up.

What to expect?
Slowly the threads will stop. Noobs will be the only posters with a couple of oldies helping them out. You'll see random posts from guys like me who like to check in on everyone who used to post there.
This MH is like an old internet home for me. Like visiting your parents after you move out. Still home but you've moved on.


Good luck man


Just would like to mention 95% of my posts all belong to this MH forum page.
