Since the crown price is raised..I'd expect more crown sale than before (which only happen once a year)
If my math isn't off, with most value purchase, the subscription option is way better than crown pack because the sub bonus per month (exclude free crown) worth only 500ish crown compare to the biggest crown pack, which makes purchase of crown pack nearly meanlingless. However, you will need a lot of time to gather those crown since 6month sub only gives you 9000 crown at a time, then you have to wait 6 months.
I'm happy to pay sub or buy crown to support ZOS, but not both since it costs hella money, and the current system with minimal value of crown pack, is refraining me from, well, spending my money to ZOS.
Either have crown sale on black friday
or offer a 12 month sub option, so we can both be happy

They added two new tiers for crown packs, 14,000 and 21,000. But the prices for the rest of the packs have no changed.2 -

they kinda did depending on where you live. for instance the $40 pack for aus is now 49.95. and we still get charged in USD anyway so still gotta pay an exchange fee. but instead of the fee being on 40, its now on 50. and the dif between AUD and USD doesnt make up that 9.95.4 -

players in some countries were buying crowns at half the price as we did.
zos updated the prices according to the current exchange rate so their prices are now same as ours.2 -

That's simply not true. Now, after price increase on crown packs, using the current exchange rates, the prices here in Poland are higher than in US.6 -

✭✭✭I don't know why they just don't have more crown sales in general, I know people would spend a LOT more money that way.Wishing for Lilmothiit race still! Or maybe Lilmothiit companion?2 -

Changed for me. the 5500 pack was always £23.99 and now it is £29.99.1 -
BloodWolfe✭✭✭✭The prices never went up. They added 2 new larger crown packs but the prices are still a similar amount to what we already pay but just larger packs to avoid having t go through multiple transactions for those who want more than 5500 at a time. At least Canada and USA the prices didn't go up and a similar Crown/Dollar ratio as the 5500 and lower packs).0 -

Canada + USA ≠ the whole world
Btw with these new larger Crown packs it would not be surprising if the discount on 5500 Crown packs became smaller in order to entice players into buying the larger packs.1 -

Well all I can confirm personally is that the Can+USA prices didn't go up and the new packs are still in-line with the other crown pricing without an increase. If anything, the 21000 pack is the best option if you look at dollar/crown ratio.
I agree and wouldn't be suprised if they made the 5500 pack discount smaller to entice people to the 21000 pack for the best discount but hopefully it will stay the same discount across all packs so people can choose and not feel they HAVE to buy the top tier pack to get the best discount. We will find out in a few days or so is my guess, lol.2 -

Was discussing this with a friend over the weekend. We both thought that the 5500 pack was going to cost more next sale for the exact reason you stated. Could easily see them doing this.2
