I am probably going to be pilloried for this by people who want entirely new things, but I've used the same world / setting for 45 years now. From the original game to 5E (skipping 4E, sorry not my cup of tea). More time if you count Chainmail fantasy supplement miniature games. We were into campaign play, taxation, recruiting, sieges etc. with each campaign season based off the last <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It's a world. It's big. It has tremendous variation. The world has changed overtime (and I've advanced it's history with new editions). With complex social systems, cultures, a well developed history, and interesting NPCs I don't see how someone couldn't find more to explore in it. I've plowed in detail and my players seem to enjoy that about it. The fun is in exploring a world and "living" in it. The only other fantasy (or science fantasy in one case) settings I've ever used were Tekumel (but Empire of the Petal throne is addictive), Glorantha (we went through a Runequest phase) and Bushido's version of fantasy Japan. In have cribbed ideas from a number of settings (Greyhawk, Blackmoor, the original Forgotten Realms and many more), but that was pillaging cool stuff for my own game <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />What my game doesn't have is radically different systems (magic, combat, levelling, skills, etc.) other than moving from edition to edition, but if your staying with the same game system over time, that shouldn't be an issue. All, imho, of course. Throw in the standard ymmv. I like the depth, world building and tinkering with game systems that comes out of that. Not everyone does and that's fine <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
