The first 3e campaign I ran was like this. At 1st level the characters were concerned with only survival - were they going to make it to the next town before the orcs on their tail got them.by 5th level they were still concerned with survival -but they were as or more concerned with stopping the rampaging orcs from destroying the countryside and killing/enslaving their family and friends.by 10th level they were much more concerned with the threat to their lands (deeded a keep) and the fact that they had "accidentally" let loose an undead menace from another plane bent on turning this one to its nefarious will.by 15th level all the PC's had multiple contingencies (in some case literally in some cases figuratively) to prevent permanent death - that means they could focus on the bigger threats to their respective lands and to the world as a whole. So threat of death to others not themselves was the driving force.</blockquote>
