So I mean, if just gaining revenue is morally wrong

Never did I say that. There's plenty of for-profit games which I have zero problem with, like Threshold, Everquest, etc.

why does Carrion Fields have a paypal account set up to get revenue from its players?

We accept donations via our webpage to pay the costs of operating the game. We also sell merchandise (T-shirts, whatnot) to do the same. The game itself is absolutely free- RL money has no impact on the "inside". This is all consistent with the intent of the people who provided the database, as confirmed by their own words (in documentation, as well as conversations). We're 100% in compliance with their intent.
