It is unclear (to me, at least) how much of the game content is no longer available due to the game's servers being offline. A single sentence by someone in the know would be enough to clarify if all the game's quests are available offline or not (the current article is ambiguous).
The picture there is suppose to be the Monster Sizes, but it is clearly wrong because the characters are almost the same size as Lao's head (welll not almost but really close) but it the article it's barely half. And I'm pretty sure Plesioth's fin makes it taller then Gravios.
After looking over the whole "Poogie" box at the top, it seems logically that it does relate to Monster Hunter as the small piggish creature in all the Hotel rooms.

I have been contacted by an anonymous user who seems to have done a lot from this page User:24.192.118.163 and who made this version of the page. He recently vandalized this page out of frustration, aProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0
seemed rather upset do to what transpired, so my question is why did someone revert the changes to begin with? It seems more informative as it is, and the only reason I could think for the reverts is that it reads a little like a game guide. However that could be fixed through edits, not through straight revertation couldn't it? As it is, I have reverted it back to this version. If by common consensus, this is seen as a bad move, I will gladly revert them back to the shorter version. However I myself will have to side with the anonymous user in this one. Please leave any opinions, and I apologize in advance if you find my revert to be counterproductive.

The article reads like a review. It uses 'you can do...' , and how underated it is by the press, among other things -- ZayZayEM 05:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I partially agree, this certainly reads like a friggin' FAQ. Would it be terrible to chop off the section with all the details on monsters and such? -- Vespertilio
I cleaned things up a bit, although I left all the general monster information in. I removed erroneous info, fixed spelling, grammatical, and capitalization errors, and generally made the article easier to read and find information in. -- Nekojin
Very nearly started editing it, but I don't want to get roped in and continue doing so for an hour - I think the "potions" section or whatever should be completely removed, perhaps given its own page -- Falcon9x5 16:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I edited a small portion at the end of the Hunting Quests segment; the weapon recommendations were opinionated, and in most cases, false. What I removed didn't even apply to Hunting Quests in the first place, so all should be well. Mister Deranged 02:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Monster hunter for psp is coming to the US on May 23, 2006!!!! It's gonna be awesome
This isn't the place to discuss about the game. Go find a forum to discuss it. (Anonymous)
As such, I will be adding a few references to the newly created page and modify and standardize as much as I can the new page. All info on MHF/MHP will be ported there, though a lot of the clutter from this page won't make it there.
This page should become exclusively the Monster Hunter article, with a new article created to encompass the entire series. If it cannot be done, this page should simply be the Monster Hunter article and the series hub will be the template. LanceHeart 19:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
I removed the vast majority of content for the article. All of it was insignificant and incredibly overdetailed. Smalled, more concise paragraphs could be put back, but nothing like was there before. If you've got a problem with it, discuss it here. + Falcon9x5 08:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I know this isn't the place for this but has anyone know any info of a enormous dragon that is able to kill 100s of player at once. this thing is BBBBBBBBIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and only online. i have heard roumours about it and want to know more. look on wiki seem a logical place but it had little info on this bsob
At least you know this isn't the place for this :) 1) Only 4 people can play online at once 2) You're probably referring to Lao Shan Lung or Fatalis... Lao Shan Lung is the biggest dragon in the game, with his head and neck alone almost taking up the whole screen, but really isn't that damaging(unless you get close to his feet). Fatalis isn't quite as big, but basically his attacks are able to kill most players in one- two hits. SuperDT 06:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Earthias,
Thats what someone said. but that maybe what they were talking about. thank you.
just posted on another fourm but sorry i thought i might get an reply here quicker.
2)_-_-_---> reply: doesn't the map/quest/hunt you play tell how many people will be playing in the world. like if some group of 4 chose a hunt and another group come right up behind them and chooses the same one both will be in the same map?
Yeah Earthias was made up by the "hardcore" players to get noobs to waste crap loads of time searching for a super huge uberly powerful dragon, only to get Lao Shan Lung.
"doesn't the map/quest/hunt you play tell how many people will be playing in the world. like if some group of 4 chose a hunt and another group come right up behind them and chooses the same one both will be in the same map?" I'm not sure if that's how it works, because I have MHF and that doesn't have an online mode, but I believe it's only 4 at a time on a map, and someone just hosts it; otherwise, you'll have 100's of characters on one map, trying to kill a wyvern, and it will be laggy as heck!

As stated in the article, the game plays like Phantasy Star Online where parties get their own private game to play when they head out for a quest. -- 192.251.125.85 21:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I thought the hammers were the most powerful weapon type, not great swords? SuperDT 03:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah some users keep coming on and changing the Great Sword description to say that they are the most powerful weapon type and deal the mosts damage and stuff... SuperDT 01:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, after a little bit of research, I came up with these results: in terms of raw power(not counting elemental attributes), the Great Sword is indeed more powerful than the Hammer; The Demon "something"(I believe it's slasher or slayer) is the most powerful GS at 1200 Attack Points, whereas the Dark Punisher, the strongest Hammer, is 1144(or something like that). However, counting elemental attributes, then the dark Punisher is much more powerful with a 510 Dragon Attribute and no element on the Demon "something."
P.S. I'm not sure if this makes a big difference, but I did this on Monster Hunter Freedom. SuperDT 21:39, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Not to contradict you in any way but the divine slasher also has 960 attack so there are two.
70.190.109.11 02:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)the great sword just so HAPPENS to be one of the weakest weapons in the game. if you want a cite go to gameFAQS but one of the stronger is the hammer, i forget which is stronger, duel or SnS. the strongest sword is the eternal eradicator or one of those. it is made from fatalis. i am a vetran at MH so i know what im talking about... the reason for this conclusion it there attack speed. hammers are the strongest in terms of single bloows and if you can land there combos can do some serious damage. as for GS they aren't as powerful but just as slow. SnS and duel swords are very fast and land many hits in a short amount of time.

^ Not true, a weapon's potential depends on the user more than anything else. Also, the Red Dragonsword has an attack of 960 :) -- 192.251.125.85 21:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
There are actually facts to back of the power of certain weapon types. When you stack the best weapons of each type against eachother, the Black Dragon Spear outclasses anything, by far. In fact, it is generally considered a broken weapon because of it's overwhelming power. Hammers are second in the damage tree. Also, although a weapon's output DOES depend on a user's skill, there is a specific pecking order of weapons. The latest list for this is as follows: Lance>Hammer>SNS>Great Sword>Dual swords. ALTHOUGH. This of course, is based on one person using the weapon only. It is possible, for example, for 4 people with Dual Swords to kill a wyvern faster than 4 people with say, SNS, simply because with Dual Swords, it's possible for 4 users to spam a fury attack on the wyvern's weak point without having to move, and without cancelling out the other player's attacks. SoujiroSeta's "Elemental rage" video is a good example of this. ~Minor Vaginor.
Use the Damage Calculator by Lord Grahf, found on GameFAQs. PitchBlack 17:59, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Unless you're going to post all of Grahf's calculations (which would obviously involve obtaining his personal permission) and duke out every single attack damage blow to each individual wyvern, we're going to go with what the game's numbers say. I know full well that Lances are the most overpowered in terms of multipliers, especially the Black Dragon Spear, but again, it's all just for number's sake. Onslaught Hammer and Breath Core Hammer, with their 1024 attack power, are the most powerful in terms of raw ATTACK (NOT DAMAGE). I'm just going to change it to that. If anyone wants to post some giant flame war discussion about which one does more "damage" in whatever situation against whatever wyvern on whatever part of it's body, feel free to do so, but you'll probably be exorcised by Jimbo Wales.

Besides, as far as Monster Hunter 1 is concerned, it has been agreed that the Lance is the MVP weapon out there, regardless of other stuff. And this isn't the case in later games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.125.54 ( talk) 20:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Roy (a random person) sucks because he cant kill the strong rathalos. Just joking, about the strong rathalos part. Rathalos is slightly intimidating, but is as easy as P-I-E. Just whack it with a light weapon (duals, sns) or a bowgun. Preferably with a stun attribute, but a raw damage one will do fine. Go to www.reign-of-the-rathalos.com for a pdf file of SnS and Duals weapon trees. seany 01:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Article-wise, difficulty isn't an issue, as some players can easily slay a Rathalos, yet some may not, depending on equipment and skill.
What happened to it? It was a great page, and couldve been used to put the monsters from the newer games in too. Resident Evil has a page dedicated to all their monsters (including many other games), so what happened to monster hunters? PitchBlack 17:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Why was it deleted then, and not improved? It could have been fixed of the factual errors. And the original research and hints could have been deleted. Let's not get into a discussion of what is deserving of what. If one game has a page for its monsters, then there's no reason why Monster Hunter shouldn't have its own. Popularity shouldn't affect whether something is deserving of something. PitchBlack 17:59, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

"Did these come from the game's manual? Please reply here. -SuperDT

Lemme clarify, it's not called Demonization Mode, just rage or stamina mode in the PS2 version. They name it in the PSP version. -- 192.251.125.85 21:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The monster list was rather lacking so I added more info and seperated into three groups.
Not sure what to call the weak enemies like prey, decided on Pests for now.
Also thought of beasts, though that sounds a little tough for these guys.
The descriptions are a pretty basic rush job for now, i'll expand and clean them up later, as should others.
Most likely it will just be direct from the MH monster list in-game, since it seems like "guide book" style descriptions are frowned upon. --

02:34, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
There had been just a string of monster names which seemed pointless.
It's either a proper list with descriptions, or none at all.
A seperate article in the vein of the FF WEAPON list could be worked on in the future.
Regarding the website links, the majority of game wikis include the NA, EU and Jp sites, I don't see why they should be removed. --

Now from what I have been reading there coming out with a Monster Hunter 2...
But as it seems this discussion says that the Mh 2 is going to be for Psp but it is said to be put on Ps2 in japan it is called Monster hunter Dos. as it even states that it was made "After" the Expan on the psp, which he proclaims to be MH 2. it is said that it itself connects with the Psp version. And allows you to Upload your old Mh 1 characters, so why is it we have him telling us that Mh 2 is for Psp? the info that I know is that, yes. they are coming out with a 3rd for Ps3 But What I Hear is, it was to make more money, MH2 is for anyone not wanting to buy the ps3 since Ps3 is costly, and... on put it on the Ps3 for graphics and more Dragons, monsters, items, extra money, data, etc. My understanding is that MH 2 might not be coming out to the states or other wise. I have seen the movie trailers for MH2 made by them and even stated by them that it is made for ps2 Thou you guys might have something to comment I don't know if that this Mh2 is just some kinda of fluke that they stopped working on and starting making a number 3 this is just what I know and I am pretty big Fan, oh and also I also hear the ps3 version isn't going to be out for a quite some time so like I commented before. its costly, they might bring it out when they think more people have the console. I don't know.
this has been a quickly written note on Monster Hunter.
P.s most likely going to need editing.

This article is a mess. It is about the PlayStation 2 original game, yet it includes information about the franchise. It should be split into two articles, a proper Monster Hunter (series) with the information about the series, and a proper Monster Hunter with information about the first game only. I would do it, but since most is unreferenced, I would just create two stubs which would not be really helpful for anyone. -- ReyBrujo ( talk) 15:27, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
The Article for Monster Hunter deserves more than it's current state. I would suggest the Phantasy Star Online page (being the most similar game) as a good example of how to go about improving. Dissidia ( talk) 17:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
