Active Subscriber Rewards / Loyalty Rewards Cutoff

lygerseye

Per the FAQ on ESO: Tamriel Unlimited...
"As a current subscriber: If you are an active subscriber when The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited launches, you will receive 500 crowns for having a game account, plus 100 crowns for each 30-day period you have been an active subscriber. In addition, you'll be automatically enrolled in ESO Plus for the remainder of your subscription period."

Background: When the 3 & 6 month loyalty rewards came out, I had to wait an extra month because I had pre-ordered the Imperial Edition and received the 5-day early access. Early access was very buggy and we were given 5 "sorry about that" days (on 05\02\2014) free to make up for it. As a result, people who started playing on day 1 of the release (not early access), were considered "subscribed" longer than us because the extra 5 days we received did not count towards our subscription time. This put me past the cutoff date for the 3 & 6 month loyalty gifts by 1(!!!) day making me wait until the next month before I got my reward items.

To my questions: Is this going to happen the same way for my Crowns? Are we (early access people) going to get 100 fewer Crowns because ZOS gave us extra days at launch, even though we've been playing since early release and before the official launch date? How are you calculating each "30-day period you have been an active subscriber"?

Probably, like the loyalty rewards we have already received, the first 30 days that came with the game purchase don't count.

I also want to know about that "Unique reward" for people that already subscribe.

Its only reward for 12 month subs or people with less still can have it? I had few months breaks but i'm Imperial Edition member since day 1.

I started roughly 2-3 weeks after launch and was also given 5 free days in May for it being buggy. Not only early access accounts were given those.

Yeah, but everyone got the 30 days when they bought the game - we're all even on that point. It's the 5 additional days that early access people (and others according to @MissBizz) received that's causing the disjoint with loyalty rewards.

I've paid for 3 90-day subscriptions that will expire on 02/06/2015. That's 39 days before the switch to Tamriel Unlimited. I'll need to purchase at least 2 more 30-day subscriptions before then (more likely 1 90-day sub since I will be continuing to sub with ESO Plus). How many Crowns will that convert to? My math says 1000 Crowns. The remaining 51 days of the new 90-day sub won't count because they will be post-switch (and I fully understand that they shouldn't).

Does anyone disagree with my understanding?

I still don't feel this has been clarified to the full extent, but that's the answer we have for now.

[EDIT] Sorry. Meant for this to go in a different thread. If you're wondering about the one time mount though, that's what that link is about.
