Local Heroes with better things to do will provide their best dungeon-clearing tips, some healing potions, 10 days rations and one donkey with supplies for the brave at heart. Will take only 10% commission on treasure recovered."

Then the PCs can learn the pleasure of delegation, not to mention have a little fun drafting ads that they used to respond to when they were 1st level. :-)
You can also set up a sandbox where each player has a "character tree". When Lord Reynard and his 8th level parties run into a kobold lair in the hills, they just mark the location and send in Cousin Crowking on a different day. Similarly, when Cousin Crowking hears about giants attacking a village, he sends word to Lord Reynard. Each player effectively controls a small "clan" of interlinked adventuring allies, allowing players to tackle a job with the appropriate force.


EDIT: Dang. Shades of Green beat me to it.
