IGG has announced that they will be holding a series of events in Myth War Online to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day.
July 7th of Chinese lunar year, Chinese Romeo and Juliet meet each other once in a year in Milky Way. They were once forced to depart by Supreme Emperor in the Heaven. For this reason this date is traditionally known as Chinese Valentine's day and it is the most romantic traditional festival in the long history of Chinese culture.
As Chinese Valentine Day is around the corner, something that follows will be a series of activities held by Myth War . You are supposed to take this chance to experience the exotic romance dating from ancient China. Here is some general introduction to these series activities:

traditionally known as Chinese Valentine's day
eh, that should really be "traditionally known in the West as Chinese Valentine's Day" . The Saint Valentine's Day mythos is the exclusive creation of the Roman Catholic Church and later 'monetized' by western corporate capitalist scumbags.
Anyway there IS a traditional day devoted to squishy romance and kanoodling in China known as Qi Qiao Jie, recalling starcrossed cosmic lovers separated by forces beyond their control blah blah.
Lol, no offense meant, but you are a smartass. I mean, wasnt that obvious to everyone? I mean, no one REALLY would think there is a real equivalent to Valentine's day in China, so OF COURSE its a way to translate it to westerners.
Geez, why is everyone so eager to show how educated we are.
Its fun, its entertainment and romance, no need to be picky with words, man. Enjoy it and go with the flow. :)
