I doubt I'd ever really be able to commit anywhere near the amount of time that I used to to crpg whether it gets reset or not, however, I do know that I'd be more likely to spend a large amount of time playing if I still have my characters and looms that I always did waiting for me to return. I'm not particularly attached to them or anything, however I did spend the time to level them up high(ish) and set their stats the way they are. It would simply be a large hindrance to my enjoyment of crpg if I had to do that all over again just so I could get to a point where I could have fun with the game.
Let's say I've got 3 hours a week to spend on crpg: if we reset I'd have to slowly grind a peasant character up to retirement level at which point I could retire and start to amass a loom collection again, or keep it high level so I could enjoy playing the game the way I want to. It would take me weeks just to get to a high enough level where I can get enough enjoyment out of the game to deem it worth the time investment... idk about everyone else but being a low level peasant unable of killing higher leveled characters was never what attracted me to this mod in the first place. As soon as the servers are reset it'd be a mad dash to the finish line where those with the free time would get leveled up quickly and be able to steamroll the whole server in no time. It'd only be a short while before we are more or less exactly where we are now, where the diehards are a higher level than everyone else. And what do we do then, wipe the servers again? A server wipe might rejuvenate the population for a month or so, at most imo, and then we'll be right back to where we are now, only the higher leveled nerds have fewer options to choose from (we all know as soon as someone gets something MWed they never use any other items that aren't MWed ever again) and the lower leveled nerds won't even have functioning characters yet.
Sure, skip the funs exist for a reason, and while I personally hate the grind, I'd still much rather prefer to at least feel like I'm working towards something, however far away the goal may be. Also having a high level regular character at least gives you the option of retiring in return for some looms. If you devote all your time to playing on a stf you can at no time decide to become a peasant in return for looms. Basically, any time invested in a stf is simply wasted, apart from being able to actually enjoy the first 10 or so hours of gameplay.
