If that's really what MtGO allowed you to do then you need to file a bug report. That isn't how the game works. Either you pay the full cost and activate the ability or you do nothing at all.

- You must pay all costs if you want to activate the ability.
- All effects that do not contain "may" must happen.

No. To activate an activated ability, you must pay all costs of that ability. The costs appear before the colon. (cost: effect.)
In addition, once the ability resolves, all of its effects happen in the order they are stated. Players can't take actions in between.
