EQdkp OpenSource DKP
Copyright (C) 2002-2005 The EQdkp Project Team
Introduction:
-------------
What is DKP?
------------
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.
What is EQdkp?
--------------
EQdkp is an OpenSource DKP system created out of necessity. Many guilds wanted to use the
point system but didn't have the means or time or will to create their own set of scripts
for managing it. The main focus of EQdkp is to make loot distribution as easy as possible for
guild leaders while still allowing it 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 changed to an OpenSource orientation so
that it would much more customizable for each guild.
Contact:
--------
Bug reports and feature requests should be directed to the SourceForge tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eqdkp/
Installation issues, general discussion - just about anything that's not a bug
report or feature request can be directed to the forums:
http://forums.eqdkp.com/
If you're using EQdkp, we'd love to hear from you. If you have a moment, post your site in
the 'Examples' forum.
Donations:
----------
If you and your guild use and enjoy EQdkp and want to see it continue to be developed, donating
whatever money you can is a good way to show your appreciation for all of the work that's gone into the
development and maintenance of the EQdkp project.
Why do you need donations?
--------------------------
A lot of time went into creating EQdkp, and still goes into maintaining it by fixing bugs and adding requested
features - in general, making it better.
In addition to that, hosting fees for EQdkp.com need to be paid on a monthly basis, and donations would help greatly
with that.
If half of the guilds currently using EQdkp had around half of its members donate 50 cents one time,
that would probably cover the cost of the EQdkp.com server for one year. Additional money would go
to the developers of EQdkp for donating their time.
For more information and for instructions on how to donate, please see: http://eqdkp.com/?p=donate
