Do yearly resets and people will just stop coming back. I invest maybe 2-3 hours a day to playing. All on my time and when I feel like logging in. Other people play 10+ hours a day farming, raiding and responding to batphones. Resetting the server fucks over all the people who actually put time into the game to get where they are at.

Only if there are no rewards for people who completed major objectives. For example, a sample reset system:
- Reset every year, in accordance with the classic timeline.
- Rewards for server firsts. If you're part of the first raid to down X target, you get a unique item (such as da oogly stick) which carries over after the reset.
- Titles for people who have X PvP kills, which carry over.
And so on. Rogean said he'd never do resets, but he also said we'd have a classic server. This server's mechanics aren't classic; YT and the EXP boost are just two obvious examples of why.
And people like you, who think everyone will just quit if the server is reset, don't understand why people play here in the first place. There are basically four major motivations: get the best gear, get PvP kills, be part of the p1999 community, or be the first to do something.
Resets don't stop people from doing any of those things, and actually make the journey more meaningful since it's fresh every time. In fact, the fourth motivation is only possible with resets, since almost everything has already been done. If you start here now, having a fungi or AoN or an epic doesn't mean anything because there are thousands floating around. People who've been here a while have hundreds of thousands of Plat and multiple fully geared toons.
On live, seeing an epic or a BiS was a big deal, because there weren't many. It gave new players something to strive towards. Reset, and those things become meaningful again.
