Shroud Loot System (SLS)
This belongs on a wold of warcraft/MMORPG wiki, it's far too gamecrufty for the general interest, having endured a short but educational world of warcraft career, myself, I know that 'custom' (i.e. not hardwired into the software) loot systems do exist, but this one is just an attempt by a clan to make their name stick to that system. It's also only got one Google hit. -- O bli (Talk) ? 22:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

From the Author:

Systems like DKP (Point System) exist in this wiki already as do other MMORPG-specific terms, some of which are very specfic to various games (see Leeroy Jenkins). I will willingly remove the guild reference from the title if that is the issue, but again, I was following the format of the DKP article which refers to the guild which created it. I could certainly add this section to the DKP system, but I feel that it is an inherently different system and it isn't a variant.

I've also thought about making a more general "loot systems" article which would be more general and attempt to place the variant systems such as this into a context for the reader and would make a place for other newer variants to add sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iceparrot (talk • contribs)
 * I actually tried looking for an article on loot systems, seems like you knew where to look :) I actually think a more generalized article for loot systems, maybe loot (MMORPG) would be better, Id' be for it if you moved DKP (Point System) to that name and merged your existing article, seems to me that peolpe will find it easier that way. -- O bli (Talk) ? 22:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I will do that instead, I think it will be of greater use and be more general to any MMORPG, but still allow to give credit to the "inventors" of certain systems. Iceparrot 21:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
