Wow. Only? *heh* It is interesting how different perceptions are in different gaming communities. A player wipe every 2-3 years on average would seem extremely common to most folks. The fact that you label it "only" indicates to me that your game world was probably designed with the idea that you'd wipe it occasionally.
That can definitely work depending on the way the game is designed. Probably one of the more notable recent examples of this is ATITD (A Tale in the Desert) which totally resets every few months (I believe they are called "Tellings.")
It sounds like your players probably know to expect the wipes every few years and so its no big deal.
