Buying one item at a time...?

[Axlrose]

While looking through the interface thread, a thought occurred to me that might have already been addressed. Didn't the early version of the game allowed you to only buy one item at a time? That is, if you wanted to purchase twenty flasks of water, you would have to click buy twenty times.

I remember one of those online EverQuest comics (Woody?) making fun of it.

If this has already been addressed, then please disregard this post.

The latter comic was from April 20, 2001; so perhaps that was when multiple buying went into play.
