Nearly three years ago in 2020, Potterworld hosted the “Travel to Underland” Valentine’s Event. In this event, players traveled to the magical land of Underland, a world made up of dreams and fantasies. At the center of the world was the evil Queen of Hearts and her castle, and players were tasked with gathering materials to craft the mythical Love Staff. This staff was the only way to enter the Queen’s castle and challenge her to a duel.
Throughout this quest, players explored the kingdom and the castle grounds. As for rewards, the Love Staff was easily one of the best. It was well worth the trouble to craft it. I have some fond memories from this event!
2021’s Valentine’s Event was themed around fairytales! Titled “Valentine’s in the Enchanted Valley”, this event tasked players with collecting Storybook Pages to unlock main quests. Each quest was themed around helping fairytale characters solve their problems.
The backdrop for this event was the Enchanted Valley, a lovely town of magic and references to fairytale stories. The twisting streets and quaint houses were the best parts of this build. The town square was the center of the build, and like all events, there were plenty of rewards to be found. Two new emotes, “Wherefore Art Thou” and “Bippidi Bobbidi Boo”, were made available, and the Scarf of Friendship is a classic treasure from this event. This event started off 2021 right.
Just last year in 2022 was the “Havoc in Hellas” Valentine’s Event. For this event, players were sent to the magical islands of Kalphos, where Ancient Greece was brought to life. The Labyrinth beneath the island hid a monster in its maze, and players descended into the Labyrinth to complete the main quest. After the Labyrinth, players participated in a House Point competition to offer the most Drachma to the gods Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus.
The build of the event was the main attraction. The build team outdid themselves on the details of the temples, islands, and towns. The island of Kalphos was decorated in mythology references, with the Temple of Aphrodite at the center of it all. Around said temple were reward stands, where players could buy rewards such as Icarus’ Wings and Eros’ very own bow with Event Tokens. In my opinion, this was one of the best events of 2022.
What did you think? For some, this might bring back some memories. For others, this was your first look at some of the old Valentine’s Events on Potterworld. Either way, we’re all here now, simultaneously looking forward to the 2023 Valentine’s Event. What could the staff team have in store for us? Keep an eye out on the PotterworldMC website and Discord for more information coming soon. Have a happy February!
