Hey,

Our initial donation rewards are now online for the SMP server. We will be offering more rewards in the future for sure, and would love to hear from you what you'd like to see. Please do let us know.
We currently offer Experience, Money, Hats and Mob disguises, with plenty more to come soon.
Do check out what we have to offer, we really do appreciate any monetary support you can offer to help pay the bills!
To donate, simply click the donate button at the top of the page, or use this (http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/page,Donate.html) link!

Cheers,
Optical

Hm.. Nice move with the options for donation.
I think I am will donate, but not sure on what.
Moreover, I have a different currency, so I have to change the money to $$$s.
2things:
1) Are the prices gonna change?
2) Shouldnt the appearance and the /hat have the same price as it is a type of skin/appearance trick?

It does have the same price 10$

These prices should not change.

Indeed it should.

I have the same thought Nick, about the change.
Although, the prices on /hat and appearance I believe are too high, if we and Optic consider that the server has the donation option for money receivables.. But if the main purpose of that is to provide a choice for those that want something special and luxurous then, it is against of my first thoughts..

Moreover, I want to ask, if Optic could inport a 4th choice for the /balances between the 2nd and the 3rd.

Anyway, I just write my thoughts about the whole thing.. If you think that my thoughts have some value then the results will be shown..

............I don't have paypal and i'd love to use these but.... i'm too young to do this.
I don't have a credit or debit card:I have no way of donating.....
BUT i wondered if it was possible to use in-game money to use these features?
I have liked you on facebook as well.

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.

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.
