What game has it worked in that only kept a player base because there was no other option? Like there is DayZ but its not a complete or conventionally released game. The only other thing I can think of is UO but post-trammel everyone fled open pvp for the safety of carebear island.

It was a duplicate world where you couldn't attack people. Just about no one went around in the game carrying much worth of anything. All the items were cheap to get.

The real reason was housing, the game was loving full out houses. The new land opened and let people build again. Only lovely part was it was filled up instantly, showing that having player housing be part of the world is really loving stupid.
