Donation System Working

[Red Squirrel]

The donation system should now be working. I have tested it myself with a secondary Paypal account (you are allowed to have a business + personal account) and it seems to work great.

If you do try it out please post here or PM me so I can verify that the process went through. When you donate, you should get a message in game within 10 minutes. You can either use the donation stone to donate (opens browser) or go directly to the donate page on the site and enter your account. I kept the notice up that it's in testing as I just don't want someone to donate without having read this first. Once I get a couple test donations and see that for sure it's working I'll remove that notice.

As a side note I had to make an update to the shard code as well since I realized pennies were not being accounted for, so if you were to make a 50 cent donation for example, you would get 0 points, not 50. I changed to code so that instead of giving a certain amount of points per dollar it's a certain amount per penny. 1 point per penny to be exact. So $1.25 would give you 125 points. So this change is why the server just got restarted.

Now that this is working we may also look into adding more items over time, and we are open to suggestions.

I also want to make it clear that this is NOT a store, but simply a gift as a thank you for donating. This means that from a legal standpoint we are not obligated to give you this gift for your donation. (ex: server issue) In all reality if for whatever reason you don't get it we will look into it of course.
