Since the server exe has a hold on that database table when a player is logged in, ppoints can only be given by the server (DK Square or mobs that give ppoints when you kill them).

my example saves the additional PP in a column that is not affected by the session server at any point. its there to hold the data until they log out, then it gets applied.
giving PP by killing mobs defeats the purpose of giving stuff for staying online, it requires players to put some effort in it. he wants to have as many online (be it afk or not) players as possible and thats his way to convince them to do so.
as far as I know only mail and cash db can be updated in real time with the player online. Since he's unable to add item->PP exchanger, I believe the way I presented is the best since I also provided the queries.
