I was actually referring to a topic started a year or three ago along the same lines, where it was suggested that DMs should get
xXP for building an area,
yXP for creating an NPC, and so on.
I pointed out that a builder like indio would be eligible to start a PC at around level 5 or 6 and thought that would be a bit excessive.
I still don't think my idea of giving DMs the equivalent of an RPXP script reward to their PC is such a silly idea if we are to looking at rewarding DMs. It's not going to make people join the DM ranks for the XP, because they can get earn just as much standing around chatting with other characters in game as they would get for DMing the same amount of time. And either way, ~1.7XP/IG hour is not going to break the bank.
But I'm unlikely to take up the mantle of DM on either of the current two servers any time soon, so it's not really an issue close to my heart.
