Also, a message to the English-speaking hunters out there: don’t let the Asian language hinder you! As of May 2016, western users can also get in on the PC hunting action via downloading an official English patch to the game created by Team HD, a group comprised of dedicated hunting fans set out to translate the game beyond the simple Google Translate format of Chinese to English.
Interested? There are several tutorials for downloading MHO, including a detailed tutorial found on r/MHOnline for signing up and installing the game.

Monster Hunter Online is a free-to-play Chinese MMO developed as a project between Capcom and Tencent. MHO has had several updates and expansions, all without a region lock, enabling hunters around the world to partake in the Windows PC exclusive.
Note: the game is affiliated with neither the main series of Monster Hunter nor the main series development team. Instead, Monster Hunter Online has its own perspective and gameplay feel along with the beautiful use of Crytek’s CryEngine 3.
