In the end.
Lu Xiu still planned to use Monster Hunter: World as the template for the new instance.
Although the old-generation Monster Hunter games were hardcore enough and packed with content, they were honestly a little too old—if she chose one of them as the template, Lu Xiu would have to fill in many of the scenes herself.
For the first multiplayer instance, Lu Xiu really did not want to spend too long tinkering with it.
So in comparison.
The new-generation Monster Hunter games were clearly more user-friendly.
There were three new-generation Monster Hunter titles: Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Wilds.

Because after players left an instance and lost its bonuses, the overwhelming majority would be completely incapable of moving the way they did inside it—
And that would create a problem.
A massive gap between training and real combat.
Players accustomed to soaring through the air and throwing out
