Currently, World Level influence on the level the Town Npcs will have, if the World is Level 10, for example, all Town Npcs will be Level 10. Higher leveled World will make npcs die less often during invasions.

Plus World Level gives around (1% * World Level) of exp bonus to the player.

And no, there is no way of stopping World Leveling, but the system may change on the next mod version.

Also on Free Mode, you get a high share of exp if you kill a monster of your level. Just do not forget to get equipments for your character.
