Donating helps the server admins offset the monthly costs of running the servers that Allegiance runs off of. There are several groups that can use your donations to keep Allegiance running.
FreeAllegiance
Paid for by Thalgor, FreeAllegiance keeps the forums, ASGS, and beta servers online. You can donate to FreeAllegiance in two different ways. The preferred method is through the forums; while at the forum home, click "My Controls" at the top of the page. Next, select "Purchase Paid Subscriptions". This will donate money to Thalgor and upgrade your forum account with additional features such as a larger Private Message box, instant wiki editing privileges, and the ability to vote in any poll regardless of your post count.
If you've already purchased a Paid Subscription, you can donate money manually via PayPal by sending a donation to freeallegiance@gmail.com.
EU GPZ
Paid for by Grimmwolf, pkk, and Zapper, the EU GPZ servers are the only servers not hosted in North America. They provide a low lag alternative to our European players while still providing a decent lag for North American players. You can help keep the EU GPZ server running by donating through PayPal to philipp.knieling@gmx.de.
