I'll tell you this.
A lot of people have tried to run servers based on donations. Out of all that have tried (including GuildWars), only two have ever made it.
Scorpious2k and Winter's Roar. Both have custom content and are very actively expanded/maintained.
If you wanna to run a server and rely on donations to keep the server running, be prepared for one of a couple of things:
1) Your server won't last.
2) You'll be footing part/all of the host bill yourself, which will lead to #1.
3) You need to be spending -a lot- of time actively doing custom content and custom code or you'll lose your player base, which will lead to #2.
I'm not trying to be a nay-sayer. If you can pull it off, more power to you. But many have failed on that path before you, so watch for the bodies if you tread that path.
