It's great. I wanted to buy the 3DS version of MH3U, but no online just made it uninteresting to me. I don't know anyone for local multiplayer, so online is a must have for a monster hunter game. Multi-region support should help keep populations high. Most Europeans understand and speak at least some basic English, while Japanese do not, so it makes sense that Japan and Europe/NA are separated. Also Japanese players have had MH4 for a while now, which can create disparities in player level (possibly, but I doubt it.)
