Server is not currently live. It is in the second wave of Open Beta Testing. As of current all we know is it will go live this month, no specific date has been given. From what I've gathered from the forums, there is about 1-1.5k players waiting to start when server goes live, including many big names from retail like clan Carebears. There is no donations, and no current plans to add donations. From what I gathered if they add donations it will be non-game affecting donations, like appearance items etc. There is however a premium option, this only adds: Dualbox capability, and the ability to see server drop/spoil database. Offline shop capability is also something they are hinting at that might be premium only. Boxing is as stated Premium only, it is based on Hardware ID, so if you have more than one computer in a house even if it's just you, you can essential dualbox. Hope that helps.
