I've already bought Imperial City DLC on NA server, but it's unavailable to play on EU. Entrances to the Imperial City and new group dungeons are closed. Does it mean i should pay twice if i want to play on NA and EU?

    I have recently bought Imperial City for EU server, but it's not available on NA server. I was really disappointed that it doesn't work the same way as Digital Imperial Edition Upgrade.

    Thats is just ridiculous, its one game.
    Everything should be game global in the crown store including eso plus.

    Yeah this just doesn't make sense at all. Then why don't we have to buy two games? This should be account wide, but they are treating it like a cosmetic item in the crown store. I have eso plus so it is not a problem for me, but I can see some people getting upset over this who are just strictly BTP and purchasing the content with crowns. :(

    If you buy the imperial upgrade it's only supposed to work on one server. You got a bonus, apparently
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...

    I believe that if you already had the Imperial upgrade (unlocked with a code) before the game transitioned to B2P, the upgrade applies to both servers. If you bought the upgrade from the crown store after the transition, it only applies to the server you bought it on.

    I have it on both servers, but mine was a carryover from the subscription days, not purchased on the crown store.

    @LadyDestiny, Is ESO Plus then not limit to one server?, im only EU Xbox One server.
    But I have read that it to is limit to the server you sub from?

    @newtinmpls, Only if you buy it from the crown store. If you buy the eso imperial edition as the game from the get go. its game wide and not server, at least on consoles.
    I honest dont know why that is :| , only thing I think is that zenimax is just extremely greedy :*

    True, my husband bought the original any race/any faction and it applied to all servers. I bought Imperial - and could do Imperial on both servers, but had to buy any race/any faction twice from the crown store in order to get it on both servers.

    Granted, "normal" people seem to do just fine with 1 server and 8 characters ... I'm greedy.

    In short, the Crown Store purchases are server-bound (as the Crown Store itself is tied to the server), but purchases on the external stores (such as the ESO PC/Mac Store, XBL Marketplace, and PSN Store) are account-wide. Anyone who purchased the Imperial Upgrade before Tamriel Unlimited will have it account-wide, but once it moved to the Crown Store, it became a server-bound purchase.

    This is one benefit of having ESO Plus over buying the DLC separately from the Crown Store - as an external purchase, ESO Plus is account-wide.
