Build-Up
A page to send Valentines to friends was set up, if enough cards were sent Gaians could rack up gold and an event item. They could also send cards to their favorite Gaia characters, which may have resulted in you a little something in return.

Unlucky at love? Gaians could get valuable romantic advice from Diedrich, Gaia's resident expert at love. A Valentine's Day forum and Flash Hangout was created to mingle with friends and new people.

Glitches & Problems
As no event on Gaia has ever gone on without glitches, Here is the "event" event Glitches.

Trivia

 * This is the first event to involve use of a CAPTCHA. Done to slow down spamming when sending letters to friends and NPC.
 * This is the first event to have subforum created specifically for Gaians who like to send anonymous gifts to one another. The popularity of sending gifts during events gradually grew during 2011, this resulted in much of the event forum being overwhelmed with 'Thank You Anon' and 'Please come here Anon' threads.
