Hey Jiggy! welcome to the server and we are glad to have you.
Ryukin pretty muched summed it up with his reponse but I thought I'd add a couple things!
3.) we do have good events such as holidays and even a summer event. Right now we have a triforce event going from the legend of zelda! xD
4.) like ryu said people do donate a lot but the way it continues to grow is people like you join and have friends join to! I saw 70 people on the other day and thats the most I've seen since being here so I hope to see that reach 100 or higher someday.
Again, Welcome to the server:) if you have any questions or need help in game my name in game is breeze:)
