Minecraft
You pay a one time fee for minecraft. It is about 15$ tho its in british pounds or something so your credit card or paypal will have to charge bit more due to whatever the exchange rate is. However the game is on sale as it is still in beta, and you will recieve free expansions of it so its a good idea to act soon. You can play it free after that on your own pc in single player mode which is great, however i pay 10$ a month for our dedicated server that holds 8 people at a time as of now.
And we have 10 people that use it but never have we had everyone on at once to need bigger server yet. the benefit to playing on a server is there is infinite space so you can build/mine where you want and also visit and trade with other players. We build trains to each others bases/homes and to mines and cities. And there is always trading for iron, gold, diamonds, wool, food, leather, weapons, armor, and whatever else you could need.
I let people join completely free but as an incentive to donate for our server 1$ gets you a reserved slot on the server, soon you can buy more credits for trade, and not sure what price yet but probably 5$ will get you admin access to help protect the server or others that need assistance. Plus you can spawn items and have tons of admin rights. Regardless of donations i will run this server and admin it because i like the game. But for those that do donate to help run it they are rewarded those things rather than paying for it, if that makes sense.
