Even if the game were 100% complete, it would never have a huge population. Crafting MMO's typically involve a lot of repetitive grinding and slow advancement of your character, and usually only have a limited player base. Salem is no different in the grind aspect, but adds the possibility of all your time/effort being destroyed at the whim of another player or group of players. I think the market for this type of game is very limited.

In Salem, you and everybody else involved in the game have stated repeatedly that there will be no wipes so we are not expecting a wipe. In fact I'd say that the hardcore players left have continued playing Salem simply because we thought that there would be no wipe. You do not need a map wipe or a total wipe, selected wipes of broken gluttony mechanics could do the trick (hummus, seeds, worms, bins, character stat lowering). As for map wipes, maybe if you left the characters and the map in place but rebuilt the map as it was in pristine mode. I could live with that. I do not want to remap the world for myself.

This game requires common sense, sadly since the 90's all new borns lack this "common sense" genetic makeup, thus we have a world full of gaming retards.
