[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8518927, member: 20564"] We had a very long AD&D 2nd ed campaign - or rather like 8 campaigns with very overlapping players, all set in FR. And occasionally meeting up, swapping characters, etc. And the DM ran several nights a week and then a 10-14 hours on weekends (Sat noon until whenever). By "very overlapping" players, I mean that the "Tuesday" game might have one or two players in common, the the weekend games had six regular players for a good number of years, and we had permutations of various "we run The Dwarves campaign if we're down Dave, and we run [I]this[/I] if we're down Scott, [I]that[/I] if we're down Ed, and [I]this other thing[/I] if we're down Jay. I had two character go from 1st to 20th and beyond. Basically everyone went beyond the 7th that the OP mentioned. Because of how the XP charts were (basically doubling from 1st to name level IIRC), if you ran a few levels down from the main party level and survived you would catch up a bunch of levels in just a few adventures. On the other hand, at the highest levels it was a year to each level. My "highest" was a human bard who dual-classed into Cleric of Milil, god of music. Two things the DM allowed was that a magic book that would advance Bard would still work with me (as well as Cleric, obviously), and that a wish could be used to allow a character to benefit from another book. By the end I think I was a 14th level Bard, 18th level Cleric. He was my very first character in that world, and in the most active campaign. [/QUOTE]
