As others have said, many campaigns don't last 25 sessions. That's a lot with the same character. That being said, I know plenty of people that have essentially just played the same character in different campaigns (even if they started over at level one, or had a different name, or whatever)...Here are a few pieces of advice that don't involve kicking people out of the game:1. If someone wants to make a new character, everyone should just say "Okay, make a new character"... No big deal. The other character stubs his toe and retires from adventuring. Just roll with it... In my campaigns I've even had instances where I encouraged players to rearrange their stats, or change their class, if they were discontent with some aspect of their character's functionality, and still keep playing as the same character.2. If the people want to start a new campaign. Just start a new campaign... It's tough to get around the fact that people enjoy changing the scenery, but that's what you need to do sometimes to keep playing. Like I said before, if you really liked a character from a previous campaign, just re-make that character. The burden of the DM is that their doing the refereeing and trying to create a story, which is tough to do after 25 sessions (That's like 2 or 3 seasons of a TV show, and even the best TV shows get to a point where it'd probably be better if they started something new)...3. If you have some great ideas for a campaign, maybe you should try being the DM for a campaign... Maybe the DM would like being a PC for a while. (I know I'd like to be a PC more often, since I tend to be the DM most of the time).Ultimately, if you like the group you're gaming with, the best thing to do is to keep rolling the dice.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
