frookies is really fun! And a lot of the same people play so you're bound to run into people you already know but i'd argue against the idea that it's wrecked for anyone (usually). I've literally joined games without knowing anyone and have been fine other than one game - bc of "the gang"- but otherwise it's usually fine lol. Fast castings still take hours because only a couple people are ever active. Castings are still activity and key based but there's a little more emphasis on comps now and there aren't as many deaths anymore.
