as everyone knows, maintaining a server takes a lot of time and also a lot of money. for example, you have the monthly costs of the server but also of this website. there are also paid plugins for the best playing experience. to pay everything yourself I quickly end up with more than 25 euros per month and that's quite a lot of money for a 14 year old boy. that's why it's nice if people sometimes leave a donation behind. you also get special ranks when you make a donation so it's a win-win situation
