I feel your pain -
The current campaign has had 2.5 yrs "in Game" 7 months real time
levels 3rd -11th of course they have been fighting a runnig war for the last year and everytime they take a large break they see thier enemies getting stronger.
I have played in a gencon game like that - "courting murders" but it had a cast of about 15-25 and characters were first come first serve. There would be a recent events write up from the last 1-2 years, It was lovely fun but I think at least half the group changed yearly.
For a national con game - you just can't count on a steady attendence
You could certainly play a 1/month game that a (in game) year or more passes between each session.
For better realism, in a weekly game, the common wisdom to enforce realstic time passing is just get you and the players used to having OOC time pass.
After wrapping up an adventure, several months pass with nothing of note happing, you all get caught up in mundane details of life(or training, or duties)
Until the next spring when.....
