BUT i wondered if it was possible to use in-game money to use these features?
I've seen this on other servers, but you can pay people in game money to donate, and to make sure you don't get ripped off, you have someone mm (Hold the money until you've got the donation, then he pays the person who donated for you) But you usually have to pay more credits than you would get donating $10 or something. So, if you want a $10 donation, you would need to pay $200k or $150k, or something like that, that way people want to donate for you. You can set the price to whatever you want though.

The whole point of this is to earn money by selling things that you can't get ingame, period. If you could buy a hat for irl money, or 100k ingame, its a lot easier to just pay the 100k. If you ever want your money back, which you probably won't, you just donate $10. But it is not as likely you will.

Maybe you could have some extra rewards for the top 3 voters each month?
eg.
1st place
1 mob disguise donation package
2nd place
money
3rd place
donation exp package

This means people without paypal can get donation perks as well as increasing the number of votes the server gets :) which increases popularity which will then increase the number of donators :)

This is already planned as announced earlier this month.

We will announce rewards soon, and set up a page on the website to see the current top voters.

I have a question on my card, do I need to use dashes, do I use spaces or do I just use just numbers? Because my card always gets declined.

What type of card is it? When i payed with a visa gift card i had to go to a separate site to validate it and then i still got the error, but i just kept trying until it worked lol.

Um it's a command that lets you appear as a certain chosen mob.
For eg. I type /md creeper, people will see me as a creeper.
