    There were crowns given due to moths and months of ESO plus not giving crowns for Xbox one

    Perhaps they just got their allotment or have been offline for a while

    The other could be finally having a ticket resolved.
    I got a big chunk after weeks of arguing with support every month for over a year

    A guy in my guild who's never bought ESO plus, never bought a crown, he's the kind of guy who refuses to give ZoS money, he logged on after work and had 13k crowns waiting for him...

    18K Crowns?

    That does not make any sense.

    If it was 16K Crowns, now that would be believable. But no way it's 18K, that is just unfathomable.

    I don't think you know what that word means.

    Maybe it's due to the crappie service Xbox has getting? Not like anyone else who plays on a different platform is getting shafted in some way.

    It's legit, logged in this eve to go from 150 to 10,650 crowns, Bought everything I possibly could before they reverse it,

    Not sure why though, there has been no comms from Zos on this.

    Incoming exploit ban. LOL
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Here is the quote from my monthly crown request from subbing

    "If you are missing Crowns for more than one month's worth of ESO Plus, simply reply to this message let us know! Please be aware that we are only able to restore up to 3 months worth of missing Crowns."

    How awsome would it be if a disgruntled employee was planning on quitting and just randomly handing out crowns.

    Would be awesome. Wish they had my umpteen tickets too

    I guess my question is: Is there anyone who received unexplained Crowns who has never bought Crowns or a sub, or who plays on some platform other than XBox?

    If yes, the "Crown backlog" theory is shot. If not, that's probably it.

    So far it just seems like an XBox thing, so even if they weren't ever purchased, it still may be on Microsoft's end.

    If yes, the "Crown backlog" theory is shot. If not, that's probably it.

    So far it just seems like an XBox thing, so even if they weren't ever purchased, it still may be on Microsoft's end.

    @BlackSparrow

    Please don't insert incorrect speculation on this. Microsoft has been the only responsible party in this. They are the ones refunding us and in my personal experiences, the ones who have contacted support on each of my tickets where ZOS refused to award me crowns

    Don't speculate please

    Microsoft always told me the issue is ZOS not updating their software to receive to receive data on who has resubbed automatically. apparently ZOS has it as a manual import which is why we lost plus sometimes and had to mail them to get them to do it, hence why it always happens out of hours, such as Sunday renewals and national holidays.

    Respectfully it reads as incorrect speculation.

    Take a look in the Xbox technical forums for your answer. Pages and pages of this exact issue for many from release till today as this was never rectified but actually we were lied to by ZOS and given a chunk of crowns last year

    Same, I've saved 3k for the Frost Motif thing or the Elk Mount that I've been waiting for over the past 6 months. I don't think they can take them back, some people would have bought consumables and what can they do? My new Imperial is very much created, they cannot possibly delete it can they?

    Hi everyone!

    The surprise extra crowns some of you are reporting getting on Xbox One were intended.

    There was a recent fix related to ESO Plus memberships on Xbox One. If you previously failed to receive the correct amount of crowns as part of your ESO Plus membership on Xbox One, you may have received an extra allotment. We encourage you to log in and check. If you did not receive an extra allotment of crowns, you were not among the impacted players.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom I have friends who don't get the crowns every month and have to send in messages but they didn't receive their crowns.

    It's amazing to me that those who were affected wouldn't immediately know that they were owed these crowns. If it were me I would have kept a running tally of what was owed to me, lol.

    Apparently you haven't read a few posts in these threads. As mentioned by other players I haven't recieved my crowns for probably 6 months now. Every month I send in a ticket, I get my 1500 +500 for comp. I never would assume they would give me 12k extra for no reason other than their eso plus not working correctly.

    Either way I'm a content camper, currently...
