Valentine’s Day is quickly coming, but perhaps your loved one isn’t nearby. If you’re in the middle of a long distance love affair, it may be a good time to check out a free-to-play MMO, and take part in one of the special Valentine’s Day events to show your special someone just how much you care about him or her.

After all, nothing says devotion like staying at home, on your computer, for a minimum of two hours, all so you can complete certain objectives together and maybe earn some kind of special token that displays your feelings.

So let’s look at what some MMOs are up to…

If you’ve ever dabbled in one of the many free-to-play massive multiplayer online games, you’ll know that each one celebrates real world holidays in their own way. Halloween is no exception, with many different games from Nexon, Aeria, Joymax, IGG, GameMasters.com, GamesCampus, Outspark, Gametribe.com, Ntreev and OGPlanet all hosting special events to coincide with the holiday season.

So, to make things easier on you, Gamertell has looked throughthe MMOs from the above publishers and compiled a list of the spooky happenings in select MMOs. Most of these events last until shortly after October 31, 2008, but many MMOs are hosting multiple Halloween events with multiple expiration dates…

The open beta for the free massive multiplayer online rpg (MMORPG) Asda Story starts August 5, 2008, and Gamescampus.com has decided to make things interesting by starting The Guaranteed Fun Promotion on the same day. The Guaranteed Fun Promotion will refund $30 to any player who didn’t enjoy Asda Story.

There are some catches though. You can’t just log in once, then claim you didn’t like it when the 30 days is up. You have to make an account, download the Asda Story client, play for 30 days, raise a character to level 40 by September 4, 2008, and complete a survey telling Gamescampus.com why you didn’t like Asda Story.

Gamescampus.com and MaxOn Soft Corporation will be bringing the free MMO Asda Story to North America. Asda Story, not to be confused with Pi Story, was originally launched in both Korea and Japan, and was very successful – especially among women.
