You have to keep in mind that in the old school MMO's the developer's made their money by keeping you subscribed for the longest amount of time... so the modern day 'blink and you'll miss hitting the level cap' ideas didn't exist. Half of the game back then really was just getting to the cap. Taking a few years to get your character to the level cap with one or two jobs (in FFXI, for instance) wasn't too surprising.
It's not like that now, modern MMO's are far too instant-gratification... but in many cases it's better / easier / more enjoyable for casual players.
