It's hard to believe that it's already February and that spring is now within striking distance. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-heroes"><em>City of Heroes</em></a> feels the season coming on strong, which is why it's bringing back its <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/02/03/the-spring-fling-is-on-in-city-of-heroes/">Spring Fling</a> holiday event from February 8th through the 27th.<br />
<br />
The event this year will be a mix of the old and the new. Returning from the past are tangles with Arachnos, quests to fetch underwear for Eros, and a smackdown of Snaptooth. New for the 2012 season are a couple of additional missions for the restless hopeless romantic in all of us -- Widow in Red and Valentines -- with accompanying badges.<br />
<br />
The former quest will have players looking into the love life of Lord Recluse (Match.com has no entry for "super-villain," much to his dismay), while the latter will send heroes all across the game world looking for valentines to deliver or redirect. The Valentines missions reward players with temporary powers such as Arrows of Romance and Arrows of Jealousy.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/02/02/city-of-heroes-asks-will-you-be-my-super-valentine/">City of Heroes asks, 'Will you be my super-Valentine?'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:30:00 EST.

Whatever you celebrate this time of year, December seems to be when the majority of gifts are exchanged among friends and family. Everyone has their own idea of what is and isn't appropriate in a gift-giving manner, and it's difficult to decide what's best to give, and what we most want to receive. Well, that's where we come in.<br /><br />We have the good fortune of having two of the fae here -- one from the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-villains">Rogue Isles</a>, and one from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-heroes">Paragon City</a> -- to share with us their views of appropriate gifts for those of you who are playing in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ncsoft">NCsoft</a>'s realms this holiday season. Their selections range from cost-free, in-game offerings up to something you can tuck under the tree ... or the computer desk, as the case may be.
