[edit] DKP
An acronym for Dragon kill points. This is a system used to distribute loot between players, usually within a guild. There are many different systems for DKP, but generally DKP is given as sort of a reward for playing with your guild, the more you play the more DKP you gain, and for these points you're able to "buy" items that drop while playing with your guild. The basic rule of the system is that the more players contribute to the raids of the guild (and thus to the guilds progress), the higher the chance the player has to get new and better items.

[edit] Dueling
Dueling is both consensual and competitive. Both parties agree to a certain set of rules before combat, which can include a specified area and restrictions on items and combat type. Dueling ladders and leagues setup by fans are common for most MMORPGs that have PvP. Final Fantasy XI was the first MMORPG to debut a formal dueling system in-game (Ballista); other MMORPGs such as City of Heroes, World of Warcraft, and Guild Wars feature PvP as competitive, consensual dueling in a group setting.
