Our campaign solved this issue by retiring characters once they
reached 8-12th level. They remained NPCs - and future PCs would often
interact with them - but weren't (usually) involved in the adventures.
Essentially, the players created their own future Elminsters and
Conans that helped shape the campaign world.
Personally I am against all this level-inflation that has been happening
over time. I think that players should be able to have meaningful and impactful adventures even at level 1. I abhor those stupid kill-the-rats quests people foist on beginning players. It used to be that 7-9 were
high levels, but by now for people that's just barely over beginner.
Well, since 3e, which moved the whole player experience into a 20 level format (with additional Epic levels that never made sense to me).
I think especially with the problems we all encounter with time to
actually play it makes more sense to have adventures that create a
fulfilling experience even if the characters are at level 1.
