Yesterday afternoon launched the official beginning for the Festival of Hearts, a month long event centering around the premise of love and friendship. The town of Merry Vale was transformed into a magical place infused with the power of love. Players can enjoy new Coin Shop and Marketplace clothing, as well as many cool items for their homes. A few pets have even made their way into the holiday section of the Marketplace.

An eleven part quest series was added for this event, telling the story of two lovers who were seperated, one becoming jaded in time, the other waiting the return of her true love. The quest series reveals how the Heart Flower, pictured to the right, came to be, and players can get involved in helping reunite Arianna and Rylan. We also found a hidden quest centering around a poor chuagawug trying to woo back his sweetheart!

Along with the launch of the festival, some additional game content was added. A new coin wheel was introduced, along with extra coin benefits for members, such as the Power Hour and price reductions in both the Marketplace and the Coin Shop. Forget sleeping on your bed--now you can jump on it instead!

Enjoy the Festival of Hearts and we hope to see you soon in Free Realms.
