Take Fire Emblem for example. There's probably 6 different storylines in all of the 11+ games they have. When the world apparently changes, there's apparently nothing of the old world that exists. Also, the "Fire Emblem" keeps changing every time, and there's nothing suggesting that each of the "Fire Emblems" are connected in any way whatsoever.
I was just stating it happens a lot, not all the time. They're not going to stop making new content for an extremely successful game just because the first big story arc is over, back to WoW references Azeroth has been in mortal peril more times than I would care to count, Maplestory isnt a series and so it isnt likely to end like one. Lots of games do that same thing, but most have unlinked games like that because they are series and HAVE to do that, MMOs have one big streaming story that only stops when its no longer profitable.
tldr: They're not going to ruin a massively popular game because the big boss is out, they'll make a bigger boss.
