Ready for sappy questlines, particle effects that look like hearts, and lots — and I do mean lots — of pink? Valentine’s day has arrived in the real world and many of the pretend worlds inside MMORPGs (for some reason). And who are we to fuss when the events are all about candy and cheap romance? Nobody, that’s who. Read on for our guide to Valentine’s Day around the MMORPG verse!
World of Warcraft is as always running its Love Is In The Air event. Sorry, dudes, I won’t be logging in my Dwarf Rogue gal for you to emote this year!

Don’t log into Skyforge unless you’re prepared to be stalked by a lovesick dryad who wants to give you free stuff.
ArcheAge is still running a boosted experience event until tomorrow. There’s new stuff in the cash shop too! CM Celestrata also points out that there’s a scandalous storyline running: “Yateo appears to have CHEATED (how rude) on Greeniette, and is only after her heritage to the Greenman throne. In a calm and rational response, Greeniette is assembling an army of adventurers to go kill Yateo. That’s how everyone deals with this, yeah?”
Pokemon Go’s V-day event involves pink Pokemon and candy. Lots of candy.
Riders of Icarus has a V-day promo promising a date with a GM. What could go wrong!

Love is all around in Villagers and Heroes… in codes passed out on social media, that is, with gifts every day this week.
