On average, what level is your PC when the campaign ends and you roll up a new PC?

It has varied anywhere from 2nd to 12th; but on average, toward the high end of the middle - 7th to 8th.
For some reason, even under 3E this seems to be the case. Perhaps we will see the trend change as more people become gamers while under the habits of 3E. They say old habits die hard, and perhaps it is because so many people became D&D players while back under 1E and 2E that this trend still holds.

Actually, averaging would work. Your levels total 81 (20+15+10+6+8+2+1+5+14). You number of campaigns is 9. 81/9 = Average level of 9.

I put 5-6 because of my two long running campaigns that have ended, one did so at 8th and the other one at at about 4th. But they did not end because we got the point where we wanted to start over and roll-up new characters. The first ended because I went off to college, the second ended because half of my players failed out (UMass Amherst 
). Both of these were 2e campaigns. I didn't have a real D&D campaign going at any point in the past five years or so until last month, and in our new 3e campaign, everyone's still 1st or 2nd level. I've been using the standard rate of XP gain so far, but after everyone has a few levels under their belts, I may slow it down a bit.

But saying an average of nine means nothing. It doesn't show we had two campaigns that barely made it out of the starting blocks, but that we also had two campaigns that lasted to 20+ level.
Or it could mean I've only had one campaign and it got to 9th.

I'm currently playing my first character ever to make it past 3rd level.
She's currently on 6 so we'll see how it goes.
I've played an 11th level PC before but that PC started at 10 so it doesn't count as I see it.

The one time I tried a higher level character I didn't go for it much. Great DM and great players (the same group I play with now), but I couldn't connect to my character without having been there during his formative stages.
