EQdkp 1.3.2d

EQdkp project is a Web-based DKP solution.

EQdkp is a PHP-based DKP solution to help guilds in EverQuest track guild members attendance, item purchases and other statistics.

It features templating, plugin support, and supports various database abstraction layers, amongst many other features.

Many EverQuest guilds wanted to use the point system but didnt have the means or time or will to create their own program for managing it. The main focus of EQdkp is to make loot distribution decisions as easy as possible for guild leaders while still allowing the system to be easy to maintain.

EQdkp was originally created with the notion that one closed-source installation of it would support many guilds point systems. It was later released as an Open Source project so that it would be much more customizable by each guild.

DKP, short for Dragon Kill Points, is a concept originally created by Thott of Afterlife. These points are awarded to each guild member as they attend a guild raid. The current DKP of each member reflects his or her priority for loot. When a member "wins" an item, they lose a DKP amount that reflects the value of that item.

DKP allows for an unbiased comparison between guild members when decisions about loot are to be made based on attendance and recent items that have been awarded.
