My main character is in the high 30s, I think 37 or 38.
I've been playing since the game went buy-to-play but had some long breaks and can't always play much when I am around. It also took me several attempts to decide on characters - just that one was a templar, then a nightblade, then a dragonknight, then a templar again and I have 5 others I'm keeping and numerous characters I've deleted.
But I also play slowly. Not only do I do every quest and read and/or listen to all the dialogue but I spend a lot of time exploring too. When I reach a new city I will go around going into every building (may or may not include locked ones, depending on the character) and talking to everyone before I start any quests - I'll pick quests up as I'm going along but won't complete them until I've done a full circuit. When I'm out in the wilderness I'll often stop to take screenshots or just to explore or try to climb the scenery. Or I'll get side-tracked looking for crafting materials and chests.
It doesn't bother me that it's slow though. I don't really understand the idea of playing a game to level up and get gear, to me that's just something that happens while you're playing, maybe something you need to do because content is gated behind it, but not a goal in it's own right. I'm much more interested in actually playing, and just letting the levels come.

About 735cp
My first char to 50 took about 6months, because I was treafveling for work, and actually doing the quests. I used to sit there and read everything an NPC said to me.
But, since then I've leveled probably 16 to max, and deleted 6 of them.
My Main is a Magicka Templar (Dunmer), and is currently sitting at CP595.
By the time this weekend is out, I'll be in that 600+ club.
Obviously, my Alt's are also at Cp595, except for one, and she should hit 50 sometime soon as well. She's not far off from hitting 40 as it is, so...
I've been playing this Templar since the game released on consoles, but it hasn't taken me anywhere near that long to get or stay at max CP.
He was at VR16 well before the removed the Vet levels. He was at CP561 long before they increased it to 600 with that crap-tacular Homestead update. And he'll be at 600 (as I mentioned), long before they increase it again.

CP615 took over 18 months because I kept creating new alts... at least now all my alts are over Level 50 and can add to my CP gain. I also took a few months off last fall, so that added to the time too.
