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.
