Single class characters with easy advancement charts are currently at 6-7th. The Elf only recently made 5th so it will be some time before he gets to that point. I'm happy to keep the campaign rolling though and would love to run Temple of the Frog, a Paladin in Hell and some of the other higher level modules of days gone by.
Personally, I love the simplicity of race as class.
That's definitely closer to my experience. To get to name level it takes usually 1 year of weekly gaming for us.
