Aciel's Birthday Gift (... The First)
One of AQWorlds' coolest artists leveled up in real life yesterday! If you want to rock a really n-ICE new throne from a very cold-hearted Cryomancer, then head to the ShadowRealm and complete his Aciel's Gifts quest. And next week, he's BRRRR-inging you even MORE dark gear.

Seasonal Hero's Heart Day Events Return
In the real world, Valentine’s Day is a holiday full of emotion -- most people either love the hearts, the pink decorations, and the cheerful cheesy romance... or they love to rebel against the idea of it all. This weekend, log in and get ready to slay your way through (friend)zones full of unloved undead, disgrunted draconians, and long-lost loves as we bring back all our seasonal Hero's Heart Day events.

(Happy endings not guaranteed... but at least you can get some sweet loot out of the deal.)
