Fair prices on the community designed T-shirts

ZOS_JessicaFolsomCommunity ManagerSeems strange that they want to limit advertising. There would be more money for them if they sold five dollar shirts with their product on it to everyone possible. As a business owner, would you rather have 1,000 people wearing an expensive shirt with your logo on it, or 100,000 wearing a cheap shirt advertising your product?
It was not our goal to make money off of this t-shirt. We just wanted to give our current active players (which we're measuring by Q4 in-game event participation) an opportunity to buy it, should they wish.

Which seems to have failed for a large number of reasons:
from no email to no code even after getting an email or following the twitter feed (to mention the most glaring)
After all who is going to buy a 'cotton'(ZOS term, so it could be anything) T-Shirt for £4.4m ???“Be as a tower, that, firmly set,

motub✭✭OK now it's working as expected. I like that at the NA store there's a note saying that the voucher reduces the price to "normal" levels (although the shirt is a bit expensive and that's before shipping). This note is not present in the EU store.
Had to order from the EU store though, because the NA store wouldn't ship to my country (in Europe). Was hoping to save a few Euros via the conversion. But the order went through fine at the EU store, so I'm glad that the issues were (apparently) solved. The "joke" would have been funnier if the voucher had worked properly yesterday, and it's not really that funny anyway, especially if players without the voucher are just shopping for Yuletide gifts for friends and acquaintances. In that case, it just looks..... um, arrogant, shall we say?
Also find it regrettable that when shopping there is no view of the back of the shirt, which I assume says "#ourelderscrolls"? Perhaps with the website address? And possibly also the several company logos (which would be a bit much, but quite possible)? Who knows? I guess I'll see at the end of March. I do like that there's a sizing chart (in centimeters in the Europe store!) to help women guess what size men's shirt they might want.
But whatever. Congratulations to the design contest winner. I do like the front. Makes a nice talking point if it catches someone's eye and they ask.

Ageless✭✭✭What I find sad is that the NA Merch server has larger size t-shirts than the EU Merch server. The maximum size in EU is XXL, whereas the maximum size in America is 3XL. I'd rather buy a 3XL and have it sit a bit extra around me, than an XXL that's a very tight fit. Can we please get same size shirts in both places?Jord.

There was nothing to worry about. Most payment methods that people are going to be using will not allow Bethesda to come along and put a 440 Million lien against it. Chances are that Bethesda has a cap on what people can spend in their store such that it would not even work.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

But since I am in Europe I cannot order the t-shirt via the American server, I can only order it via the EU one. Which hasn't got the 3XL size shirts.

✭✭✭✭✭Well, I still don't see the email, but I was able to follow the link on Jessica's above post and place an order.
Now fingers crossed that "classic fit" is actually classic fit and not one of those "American Apparel" styles that runs two sizes under what it claims. I play an MMO. I obviously am not a person who's gonna look good in a clingy shirt.

✭✭I got an email saying 'discount code' and it leads to a product that is so ridiculously overpriced that the 'discount' is technically true. So underhanded I'm unsubscribing from the emails. Please talk to whoever did that campaign as they are seriously f'ing your companies PR into the toilet.3 -

Really? I don't know about you, but I'm drowning in Tri-Crown Restoration Potions, Crown Fortifying Meals, and Crown Lethal Poisons, and (please) don't say "convert them to Crown Gems", because you get like two for 50 Lethal Poisons.
I can't imagine why I would be happier with more of that (or more body markings that I have no place on my body to put) than a T-shirt IRL (except for the savings of €24.00). Maybe it's me.

Possibly because of the potential for good things, the lack of any free crates this season, the fact gift gifting has become synonymous with Christmas? Etc?
But let's address your concern. These crates will be special guaranteed purple or higher. OR perhaps it will be 1 crate from every crate season released? That'd be cool.Account: @Delsana

The unusually high price you see before entering a discount code is intended to prevent anyone from buying the tee without a code from us.
Frankly that has to be one of the daftest measures ever implemented. Most prospective buyers will see that initial price and not bother to input the code, assuming (as I did) that the whole thing was broken - especially today with such a mess over the PC EU server. Wouldn't a better way be to make entering the code a pre-requisite for registering the purchase?Edited by Tandor on 28 January 2019 19:253 -
