Wow. 16 years! That campaign is longer then my entire role-playing career - and I've been in several campaigns in that time...
Impressive!

I am hugely impressed, very jealous, and desperate to read the account of the final few sessions!
Seriously, though, I'm amazed and happy for you - and I'm so glad the final session went with such a bang!

Congratulations! I lost track of your Story Hour after the Ghoul King arc, but it was definitely exciting and inspirational. I'm also jealous... I've had several long-term campaigns abbreviated due to real-life issues beyond my control (college graduation, job re-location), so consider yourself lucky 
Now, of course, you have the chance to take part in that wonderful activity that you've been denied for so long: planning a fresh, new campaign with all the ideas that have been brewing in your head but weren't appropriate for the current campaign. Good times! My advice would be to try something a little off-the-wall and demonstrably different than your last. Of course, I'm sure you have your own ideas.

Thats impressive, and I have nothing that really compares...but I will anyways.
In June, we played the last session of two interconnected campaigns, the first of which started in 1991. That lasted for about 6 years, with one charecter (and player) remaining through the whole thing, and another there for much of it. Then various people moved, and then I moved to Paris.... In 2005, started a new 3E campaign with new charecters. All the players had been in the old game, and the campaign was in another part of the same world.
Meanwhile, after about 18 months or so, we converted the old charecters and started an off again, on again, PbP with them.
And of course, the two converged. Though I did manage to surprise the players at least a little bit when things finally came together. The old charecters actually met the new ones for just one session on the City of Brass (or technically it was the Fire Node), and the very last session after that was actually the old charecters tying up some long dangling loose ends. This included Galen, that very first PC.
In the end all the charecters where about level 13. But they, and what they did, certainly felt epic. (if charecters had advanced in the 2E campaing like they did the 3E campaign, and we played recently like we used to, they would be at least level 30).
