We need people to help search for sites using EPGP that looks as if it was self coded or used a web based mod we can use here.
The first one I found is
http://www.houseofelders.org/epgp/listmembers.php?

If I go to the link above, and the bottom of the page it links to here:
http://eqdkp.com/
Is this not eqdkp and NOT EPGP?
What?????????

eqdkp made all the base programming for a hosted system. However EPGP is always custom developed from that base coding.

is there a site that explains the formula they use to calculate this? i mean how complicated it is? if it's just a formula based off some data it wouldn't be that tough to do if you can't find a module to plug and play.

Very simple formula.
There are events that you can set prices for or change prices on. This is one page or reference sheet.
Examples are:
Boss A kill = 20 points
Boss B kill = 25 points
Hourly attendance = 10 points
The sky is the limit on what you want you want for events. These event award points, as you see, which are called Effort Points(EP). Thats the income of the raider.
Now there are purchases made when someone gets an item. Different items cost different amounts. This cost is called Gear Points(GP).
So now you see the basic reason its called EP/GP. What they dont immediately define is the "/" in the name. Which is what decides who has priority for loot. What happens is you take EP and devide it by GP and you have what is called Priority. Everyones priority is different based on how often they get paid and how often they buy loot.
So EP/GP=Priority
last but not least there is a modifier we add at the end of every raid. This is done after all the income is paid out and debt is taken for loot. What this modifier does is decay gains in both EP and GP. Its done on a percentage basis. Default is 10% decay of both ep and gp. Currently we are doing 3% but may change that in the future.
You can start looking at how to set this up and I can link you to the mods we use and will even link you on the data output of our ingame mods so you can see how to parse it.

If you could make a solid web based EPGP mod for this site Im sure many many many guilds would be thankful to have it. I will give you access to whatever you need to see how it works.
