    I'm fairly sure I have seen it here too, but searching for anything on this forum is atrocious.

    The Witches Festival didn't require a Server restart. ZOS just flipped a switch and suddenly you could do it. I'm pretty sure this Festival will be the same way.

    I mean you can already see NPC's in the Brothel at Ebonheart drinking and wearing Festive clothing.

    It's your birthday... Go out to eat? Do something with family? Get special treatment from a loved one if you have one?

    Don't be one of those people where the game is your life.

    Probably.

    The ESO wiki lists it going from Dec 13 to Jan 1 though I would not say that is definitive as it is not an Zos controlled source of information.

    It's entirely possible that they are adding support for the next holiday event in that patch, but won't activate it until later.

    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

    The New Life festival is already in, it just needs to be switched on.

    The lore dates for the holidays are

    (December 25th) Evening Star 25th Saturalia The New Life festival comes a few days early in Wayrest with Saturalia, traditionally held on the 25th of Evening Star. Originally a holiday for a long forgotten god of debauchery, it has become a time of gift giving, parties, and parading. Visitors are encouraged to participate.

    and

    (1st January) Morning Star 1st New Life Festival Today the people of (city name) are having the New Life Festival in celebration of a new year. The Emperor has ordered yet another tax increase in his New Life Address, and there is much grumbling about this. Still, despite financial difficulties, the New Life tradition of free ale at all the taverns in the (city type) continues. The people of (city name) certainly know how to hold a celebration.

    (From uesp.net)

    Of course similarly to the Witches Festival which is on the 13th Frostfall and it lasted more than a day, this Festival could also start either on the 25th and last for a while or start earlier and include both 25th December and the 1st January

    If you look through eso ui you can find the files for the items have been in for a while. There's 3 diff gift boxes, new life fest scrolls, hats, more. Didn't think to look for the mudball, but I will bet it's there. Also, the achievements have been in the journal for a while.

    Clickbait trash.

    The code and content for the holiday event was added a long time ago, because they test all the holiday events on the PTS first. These events are enabled and disabled server side with no need for downtime or patch.

    I think we can be absolutely certain it is not Dec 1. They would not have such a festival last a month.

    They already introduced the crown gems in the crown store. The ones you get when you get duplicate mementos, costumes, pets etc from the crates. So unless they made those do something else the crown crates are coming in some form or other. The only way they aren't going to be successful is if people do not buy them. So vote with your money too :)

    No, silent means they are coming. They said November, and there is still some November left. Even if they miss November, they have tons of December to make up for it.

    Honestly, they would not just let these silently die. If they change their mind, which they won't, they will tell us.

    Edit. I can think of no reason why Account System or ESO Store maintenance would be needed for Crown Crates. The Account System is not needed and Crown Crates are not in the ESO Store. They can just turn them on any time they want.

    They go down for the start and end of sales. It's likely for the end of the Thanksgiving sale.

    Yeah, thats the problem...too silent. there is something definitely going on.

    I would really like to believe the same, but in reality I highly doubt it, they are coming, its just a matter of time, practically every game publisher is using some form of cash shop rng box now, they are just too good from a business point of view.

    They have put too much work into them now to just give them up, what they will be working on is how to 'sneak' them into the game while causing as little retaliation from the community as possible.

    I'm betting it has to do with gifting Crowns/items to people. I hope it's not the gambling boxes though I hope those die in silence, and for their contents to be put up on the proper Crown Store like a real business.
