Valentine's Day ala Perfect World



February is the so called month of "Love" as every 14th, we celebrate the Feast of St. Valentine, more commonly called as the day of lovers...

Love really happens everywhere we go, may it be in real life situations or even in game. Some couples I know started to get to know each other in game and ended up as real life partners, although some stories may not have a happy ending. The captivating magic of Perfect World helps bring people together.

Although having relationships via a MMORPG has its risks and consequences, a lot of us are still willing to face that challenge, in the name of love. Most of the time, how one story ends is as unpredictable as the drop rate of rares in game. But still, people willingly go through the cycle of falling in love, being together, break up and finding love again...

It's interesting to note what Love can do to people, even if they've just met in game. Some spends really a lot on their loved ones, in the hopes that their feelings will be reciprocated. And just like in any real life "love scenarios", in-game relationships have their share of dramas as well, there's the third party, the obsessive bf/gf, the poser/fakers (a lot of them actually), the submissive bf/gf, and a lot more, which I believe really adds spice to the gaming experience.

But hey, that's life as we know it, all of us have to undergo these things at some point in our lives, mostly not just once... We meet someone, fall in love, get our hearts broken, and move on... It's an endless cycle until we've finally manage to meet the one that we can grow old with, or maybe none at all...

But whatever it is, just like in any other game, lets just enjoy the moments, so that when we look back, there will be no regrets.

Wish everyone a good "Love" month ^_^
