Is your Valentine’s day about love, friendship, or free candy from mom? In MMORPGs, it’s about questing, murder, and free loot! So, yeah, kinda the same. Enjoy Massively OP’s guide to this very pink not-a-holiday across the MMORPG genre – and some not-quite-MMOs too!

Final Fantasy XI – Valentine’s day in maintenance mode pretty much looks like Valentine’s day in a live MMO, yeah? Valentione’s Day is live in this classic until February 21st.

Final Fantasy XIV – Valentione’s Day is live in Square’s younger MMORPG too. The event “offers enamoured Eorzeans the chance to help out Lisette de Valentione and her retinue in exchange for a series of in-game items including housing furnishings and mounts” – but only for a few days this week.

Fortnite – PvE players were supposed to find a new themed questline, along with plenty of themed hero cosmetics, including a new crossbow. Pew pew. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen.

GTAO – Vrooooooom. Cars and love. It’s actually a little bit bizarre how into V-day this game gets. “The Vapid Hustler is a shining example of what’s possible when old-world glamour slinks up next to the modern muscle car and asks, ‘My garage or yours?’
