When I look for the new moon crates or the other crates I can't find either of them (used to be able to last week)
Is this a region lock they haven't announced ? (I'm from Belgium where lootcrates are +- banned)

They're still very much there so I guess it's a limitation for people from Belgium (and presumably other places where crates are banned). Guess it's what they'll do unless the ban gets too world wide in which case they'll have to change strategy for how they earn money completely, which could be anything from return of forced sub to much higher cost on voluntary sub, or idk, possibilities are legio here.3 -

Region lock went live on 21st. You can still earn crates via streams.
I imagine they will look at other ways of offering the crate rewards in Belgium as an experiment to see if offering them outright is more profitable than offering them as lootboxes.

Oh my...
Your only solution can be to buy crates for gold (as gifts) from other players.2 -

✭✭This is exactly what I've been saying would happen in such an event for months.
Basically, Belgians are now are locked out of a lot of stuff, it seems.
As I said before, there wasn't going to be an alternative option given, just "nope", and you can't get anything in a crate now.
No, I've never had anything against gambling or games of chance. When I buy a crate, I know very well that I may never get what I want from a natural drop.
That's why I only buy 15 per season. What I don't get, I don't get. That's a expenditure of £30 per three months. I challenge anyone to say that is "out of control", when they likely spend more on coffee in a third of that time.
What people need to understand is that if crates do go completely the way of the dodo, there is no guarantee that all those shiny rewards will be made available for direct purchase as an alternative. In fact I am very much in the camp of thinking they simply won't ever be available again.
Take this incident as an indication of what will actually happen when people get what they want.
As I said a few months ago, be careful what you wish for, as you might just get it.
Aren't I lucky that I don't care at all for the shiny apex mounts?!
This is, unless, ZOS provides Belgians with a way to acquire gems in larger and more reliable volumes. My discussions with a friend in the country suggest nothing like that is available. And then it raises the question, if Belgians could in the future buy this way, why can't everyone else? It's very unlikely to work out that way because of this question.
You see, one country, and geographically not a very big one at that, is going to be taken by ZOS as an acceptable loss right now.In-game username: Un1korn | Happy member of the PCNA UESP guild (Resident Daggerfall Covenant enjoyer) | Main & basically only character: Crucian Vulpin, Imperial Dragonknight of the Daggerfall Covenant, and Undaunted Bulwark (I tank) | Mountain bike enjoyer and vulpine appreciator | If you know me from PCEU: No | To ZOS: THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BRING MY HORSE INTO BATTLE!5 -

✭✭✭I'm not too much against or pro crown crates, but if all the shiny stuff will be available for crowns and, especially, if we won't see any of those disgustingly expensive crown gem exclusives anymore, I would be a tad happier.
But I have suspicion that it takes more countries to ban crates first.3 -

Do you think using a VPN would work as a workaround ?1 -

Velothis✭Another reason to stop playing... Ive been away for a year, came back with my old trial grpup a few months ago and seeing ZOS react to their own crown ***, now they are being *** by belgiam law but check their so called solution on their faq..... That response is an insult to belgian players and once again shiws they don't play their own game (can we use path again? Or is conversion unbugged? What about a vhrc ffs...) Idc that much about the crates but ffs... Give this game to another company please, even EA would be better at this point....0

How do you even get crates from Stream? I've linked my twitch account, and watched people streams that have loot enabled or something.

Sylianwe✭✭✭Well, that explains it.
I thought I was bugged and was about to reinstall everything.
I'm an ESO+ player and have been for over 2 years, also bought all the available chapters. I bought Crown Crates regularly.
I understand Bethesda's legal point of view, however, as both a resident of Belgium and loyal subscriber it is my understanding that I should be able to do with my money as I please and if that means purchasing Crown Crates where I may or may not get the items I want, it is still my choice, I am 18+.
I guess I have no choice but to find a Crown Crate seller now.
Will the items be put up for purchase later? I have crown gems and crowns saved for the sole purpose of that.
This is unfortunate and I can't help but feel very disappointed.

ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭Honestly, their crown crate rules will probably be changing for everyone.
Microsoft doesn't nickel & dime as much when it comes to RNG. So let's hope that is one positive change that comes out of the purchase.2 -
I know this post has been around for a year and a half now, but I just want to say that with the Shade polymorph being locked in a Crown Crate pack, Belgian players are effectively locked out of acquiring a certain item - ever.
So far I haven't seen any improvements - on the contrary.ThisOnePosts wrote: »Microsoft doesn't nickel & dime as much when it comes to RNG.
