The next thing I know people are thinking based on responses above..
What happens if someone gives 3250 Gold and 1 Rapier to Hasten.
Then a second player comes by to do a multiquest with Player 3. He gives the ring thinking hasten will still need 3250 Gold and 1 Rapier from Player 3. Unbeknown to Player 2 that Player 1 had already given Hasten what Player 3 was going to, Hasten gives Player 2 the jboots.
Unfortunately I'm fairly certain this is the way it worked on live.

Yes, thinking about it, this would be the case. The whole temporary item database must have existed, as you can hand in items in any order (in the same window). Now what is interesting is quests such as Crushbone belts, Which have a message like "Brilliant, now wheres the other one?" - suggesting you could hand one in at a time (at one stage in EQ Lives history), but only recieve on the second. Which, effectively means MQing was around for a long time - if there was no character check.
Originally in the past I've always thought of there as being one 'dominant' item that could be MQ'd. But if I remember correctly, a lot of the monk epic can be MQ'd, with multiple people handing in stuff at the same time. So, what you are saying Rogean must of been correct.
Now the million dollar question is whether there was ever a time allowance for these 'temporary item databases' in which they would be cleared? I guess we will only know if people have examples of going LD during an MQ, coming back and it not working?
