“Dragon Kill Points”, aka, "DKP" is a loot currency system used to
keep score and distribute rare in-game items amongst participants in
Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORPG). It was
developed in Everquest and named after the first coordinated efforts
to down high level dragon raid boss encounters. DKP based
systems have since become not only the most common means of point-based
reward distribution across all MMORPG‘s but arguably the fairest way
possible to honor ongoing, large-scale, team campaigns. In
a nutshell, a DKP system is orderly and self-regulating. The more
effort you put in, the more DKP you will accumulate.
