Is online worth it?

So about a month ago I bought this game and even thought it's my first old gen MH (I know its not that old but bear with me) I'm loving it, 50h in and not even in HR yet. It's filled with content and a lot of my fav monsters are in, even some new monsters that i never got to fight have earned a place among my favs. The problem is that I usually play mh with friends and none of those friends owns a switch, and I also cancelled my online subscription long ago. I was wondering if I should buy online again once I get deeper into hub quests, I've heard that the community is pretty active but I don't know if that is really the case. Also I suppose (and hope) not but are online servers region locked? If so, are european servers as active as asians or americans or American servers? Thank you :)
