|trivia=* A polarized light is a light source which light waves are filtered to a specific polarization.<ref name="polarization">Wikipedia entry on a [[wikipedia:Polarizer|Polarizer]], a tool to filter specific light waves</ref>
* Many map nodes are connected like a sine wave<ref name="sine">Wikipedia entry on [[wikipedia:Sine_wave|sine waves]]</ref>
* Although Polarized Light is considered the most impactful Event in the game, it was also left drastically unfinished with 2/3rds of the story being left untold. This is largely due to the sudden Covid-19 outbreak in February, causing majority of the citizens in china to self quarantine themselves for their own safety. This resulted the event lasting for 2 weeks longer than usual totalling in almost 6 weeks, but also resulted in Chapter 5 being unfinished and rushed. The epilogue of Polarized Light will be continued in Chapter 13 as a result.
** It'll be unlikely that the event will last this long when it reaches other servers.
