DKP

Short for Dragon Kill Points, DKP is a point system that originated in the online game EverQuest and today used in many other MMORPGs that helps players distribute the loot obtained from creatures that require a large party of players (often 10 or more). For each player that participates in killing a large creature or other large mob the player earns points, often based on the difficulty and amount of players participating. These points are often kept track of by the guild leader and can then be used for loot the creature drops, the player that has participated the most will have the most points and be entitled to the rare or otherwise valuable loot first.

Each game and guild has their own method of obtaining and keeping track of DKP. When joining a guild in an online game it is best that you talk with the guild leader and/or visit their personal page for additional information about how they manage the guild DKP.
