Love is in the air, the magic slowly making its way into all of us as February 14 looms in the horizon. It’s Valentine’s Day! A day of merry making and love, a day of chocolates and flowers. But wait! Merry making, love, chocolates and flowers don’t really exist in MapleSEA, the virtual world we all call home. So what’s to do? Hmm. Well for those who have relationships in MapleSEA and would just like to make this Valentine’s a special one, here are some hints and tips on how to make this memorable day a significant day in MapleSEA.
Love is patient. What does that say? How is that related to MapleSEA? Well of course! The forest of patience! Nothing beats doing the quest with your own loved one, jumping up the difficult paths and falling down most of the time isn’t actually anyone’s idea of fun but the real meaning lies in the time you’d share together with your loved one. How a sense of accomplishment actually envelops around you and you can proudly say “I did this with my darling!” Plus! It can also be associated with the real life! How difficult life is and how we often fall down and yet we are able to pick the pieces and stand up again so it kind of accentuates your real life relationship as well. It’s definitely not something everyone would do, but why not give it a try?

The cash shop is indeed a shopper’s haven. A myriad of clothes and accessories adorn the aisles of the Cash Shop. Fine, shopping can be done on just any other day but when actually do you PURCHASE the same pet as your loved one and then nurture and raise it up like your own? That’s when the cash shop comes into the picture! Not only that, you could also get the same clothes and walk around looking like the best couple in town too! Of course, the recent introduction of the Super Megaphone would be perfect to put your love into words but if you’re a discreet person, then the PM system would work just as fine too!

Training is very much a part of MapleStory and it is the foundation to everything else in the game. With training, you gain levels, you gain items, you gain mesos and a whole lot of other things. Training with friends makes friendships stronger and bonds tighter, so what if you were to train with your loved one? Work out the math yourself and it all adds up to a better relationship with more tolerance for each other and a whole lot of love to distribute amongst yourselves! Isn’t that good enough? This game is also full of surprises as they say so why not surprise your loved one with that oh so desired equipment or piece of armour they have been eyeing. Well well, head on to the Free Market then! The place where all sellers converge and set up their stalls, a place where good bargains are easy to find and a place where dreams come true.

Going for holidays would definitely be the highlight in one’s calendar of the year. You can do the same too this Valentine’s Day! For those who have been stuck in Victoria Island since the day you were a beginner, its time to pay a trip to Ossyria! The very beautiful fantasy like land sort of works you up and puts you in the mood and the snowy lands of El Nath seems quite a fantasy too! A change in the monsters you train on, the terrain you train on will definitely be eyewash. Plus! If you do it with your loved one, oh the experience would be so much more special. A holiday for two to Ossyria! Book your tickets now! For those who have been stuck in Ossyria since forever, maybe its time to relive the memories and return back to Victoria Island too! Walking around with your loved one and reminiscing the good ol’ days the two of you had would bring your relationship to a better level in fact! So why not? A trip to Ossyria or Victoria Island, the ideal gift this Valentine’s.

All in all, this Valentine’s is a day to be enjoyed by all those who are deeply and madly in love with each other. The usual thing to do would be going out for a movie and then dinner, and time after time of doing it, the idea might seem a little bit cliche. So why not spend your Valentine’s in your second home, MapleSEA! It would definitely be a first but there’s always a first time for everything isn’t it? And most first time’s are really good experiences and bring about to newer definitions to love. What else is better than spending Valentine’s Day with the love of your life in the game you totally love?
