ONLINE ONLY

I can't join a room which isn't full, why?

The way this game works online is very bad. Remember when you first sign online, you pick a server with XXXX/2000 then city with XXX/100? Well, if someone creates a room and the server is full (100/100) you can't join. Most people join and create on the "Open" server and make room on almost full cities. This means almost all quests will be unjoinable unless you retry over and over again.

No one joins my room, why?

Join a city with the lowest number of people on it, empty if possible. That way when you make a room people will be able to join without problems. As in the question above, be sure to make a room on server with a low number of people on it.

Is there any way to search for a quest with [MONSTER NAME]?

When you first come online you get the following servers to choose from;
Open (Hunters of all ranks may gather here)
Rookie (Only hunters HR 30 or lower may enter)
Expert (Only hunters HR 31 or higher may enter)
Recruiting (Hunters in search of hunting companions can gather here)

To do an "advanced search" you must be on the Recruiting server. Go to the bulletin board, just to the right on where you can create a city. You can now select more options to fine tune your search criteria. You can only search for bosses if you've captured or killed them at least once.

Why are some people's text in yellow?

This means that the person is whispering to you so only you can read it. To do this press either TAB on your keyboard or ZR on the Classic Controller Pro. Press it as many times as it takes to select the appropriate person's name. This can also be used to talk to people if they're in a quest.
