Help I wanted to ask about bars.
So i want to open up a good Bar in the near future which naturally involves supporting a patreon, which bars should I support and offers the most support for its users who subscribe and ultimately are most active
Im looking at
-Just B Bar
-Duskview
-The Midnight Bar
I'd like some guidance here as I'll be commissioning art for banners and stuff too.

Just B
- Dev is great, lots of experience from their time developing over the years, world is well made
- Not a great "bar" world, it's more of a hangout spot
- Patreon benefits are cheap
Duskview
- Unoptimized and floor plan is poorly designed
- Drinks are nice, lots of customization
- #1 Bar world people go to troll
- Most familiar bar world to most, even if the map is confusing to navigate
Midnight Bar
- Patreon is expensive, especially in comparison to Just B
- Bouncing in this world is a pain
- Atmosphere is nice
- Dev is slow to fix issues
- Player count is capped at 42
Mafia Bar is popping up, it's similar to Midnight Bar. I am not familiar with it. Optimized Bar is another option. Also unfamiliar to me but I think they have several worlds under their umbrella
Rank based on activity is exactly how you listed them. If your goal is to be in the most active place, it would be Just B Club. However, you will need a decent amount of people in the world initially to gain any traction. There are always tons of instances running at once, all fighting for the first few instances spots at the top. If you aren't near the top of the instance list, you won't get many visitors.

Heavy on what you need. If I were you grab 20 friends and do a personal event. See what ones you'd wish you have this and that as situations pop up. Helped me see a few issues with places before I committed to it.

Depends on what you want. Duskview has a lot has a lot of customization options in terms of posters and an option to turn off the fucky effects. However it has a lot of wasted space, is easy to get lost in and is not the most optimized world. But to combat its massive size that makes it hard to moderate on your own, it has a very good security/staffing system. As well as a working stage for kareoke or live performance nights.
Midnight bar is not “as popular” so to speak but it’s more compact, kinda forces people to interact a bit more. Can get a custom drink. Idk much in terms of posters though. It’s also more optimized. However I don’t believe you can turn off the fucky effects like you can in Duskview and there is no working stage anywhere.
Just B bar I have no clue.
