Inventing DKP

Thott · <Afterlife> · Mithaniel Marr · Nagafen's Lair
After our first Nagafen kill, the loot drama nearly broke us apart. Everyone wanted the dragon loot and there was no fair way to distribute it. So I wrote a system: Dragon Kill Points. You show up, you earn points. You bid points on loot. Simple. We named it after the two dragons — Nagafen and Vox — because that's all there was to kill. Twenty-five years later, guilds still use DKP. I had no idea it would outlast the game itself.
