In practice, I've run all but one of my campaigns in essentially the same area of the same setting (and the other campaign was set in Faerie, not so far away).
In theory, I've given myself a loophole by ruling my "world" is an infinite disc that encompasses everything from the Material to the outermost reaches of the Outer Planes. No planets, no stars, just the candles of the dead above and the plane of Shadow below.
So I could set very divergent campaigns in the "same" world, but I haven't done so. My games don't feature much continental travel, so while every campaign has affected the setting, I just move the next campaign over a kingdom and the PCs' actions suddenly become rumors most local folk haven't got the time to care about.
Cheers
Nell.
