I generally do not understand why there are night clubs or venues. Everywhere. How did they become so popular?

I mostly remember PF as savage, dungeons, tome farming, speed running, fc recruiting, groups selling content and minuscule RP if not any.

Because COVID happened. They exploded in popularity because people were loving the social contact.

A lot of people here are misinformed about nightclubs, anyway. They seem to think it is a ton of people just AFKing. It isn't. I have had plenty of discussions in the night clubs that I have visited. It all happens in tells and party chat, though. Some stuff happens in say (I see that mostly in cafes), but not all.

If everyone is talking in tells and party chat you can't blame anyone for thinking the place is a bunch of people afking. Maybe have some more public conversations.....like you know....actually RP so other people can join in?

Or are the convos too private/nsfw based to have in say chat?

That was the point where I wrote this post.

Whew, 2 ads? Games LITERALLY unplayable, thank you for being brave enough to make another one of these threads.

I haven't had an NSFW conversation in FF14.

However, the chats I have had in night clubs has been to ensure that the chat history doesn't get clogged up. Hard to keep track of stuff if everybody is talking in /say.

I have walked to small corners of clubs with a couple of people where say is being used as it is a closed conversation, but it would be a mess if everybody in the main areas was using say.

I have no idea what places you're visiting but having convos in say is pretty standard in the venues I've visited (granted I only go to lounges or cafes or non-club venues) and in the one I helped run for a few months a while back. I would think having public convos is the norm because if you're trying to roleplay as a person going to a club, do you text the person sitting next to you to have a conversation or do you just...talk to them publically?

Fair enough if it's more convenient but doesn't change the appearance of clubs being nothing but afk hubs and money funnels for owners if no one is publically talking while charging gil to do anything.

Do you guys enjoy being obtuse? They said it was in South Shroud of all places that broke the camel's back for them. Those proliferate a lot in the main cities to the point it became a norm - but a mostly abandoned leveling area?

They never called it unplayable either.
