Not sure what this has to do with Crown Crates. You have to go to Eastmarch, by a wayshrine just outside of Windhelm, to start the quest (after using the free item from the Crown store).

"Hey guys, we're actively looking into how we can help alleviate some of the high ping that you're running into, though please understand that some crowding at the start of an event is to be expected. "
It is caused by people playing the game. It is not clear from Gina's note whether they intend to fix the server performance or see if they can reduce the number of people playing the game.
