I've been in the game for around 4 years now, it's been common even since then. It's so common even the guide mentions it is one of the most common mallynapping effects.
Honestly, I'd like to at least see something different with them. All of them also seem to have completely wiped memories, are scared and want their mommy or daddy and then characters have to go through and explain shit again, but now to a crying child, etc. So it's doubly annoying because they are combining changing the character to a kid with a boring "where am I?" intro with a character who should know this.
Honestly, I think the effect would be much better if more people would also combine it with an AU that remembers Luceti. I don't see that as much, but it's refreshing when you do see those and often just takes a bit of tweaking on what the character thinks.
