When I look for the new moon crates or the other crates I can't find either of them (used to be able to last week)
Is this a region lock they haven't announced ? (I'm from Belgium where lootcrates are +- banned)

Oh my...
Your only solution can be to buy crates for gold (as gifts) from other players.

This is exactly what I've been saying would happen in such an event for months.

Basically, Belgians are now are locked out of a lot of stuff, it seems.

As I said before, there wasn't going to be an alternative option given, just "nope", and you can't get anything in a crate now.

No, I've never had anything against gambling or games of chance. When I buy a crate, I know very well that I may never get what I want from a natural drop.

That's why I only buy 15 per season. What I don't get, I don't get. That's a expenditure of £30 per three months. I challenge anyone to say that is "out of control", when they likely spend more on coffee in a third of that time.

What people need to understand is that if crates do go completely the way of the dodo, there is no guarantee that all those shiny rewards will be made available for direct purchase as an alternative. In fact I am very much in the camp of thinking they simply won't ever be available again.

Take this incident as an indication of what will actually happen when people get what they want.

As I said a few months ago, be careful what you wish for, as you might just get it.

Aren't I lucky that I don't care at all for the shiny apex mounts?!

This is, unless, ZOS provides Belgians with a way to acquire gems in larger and more reliable volumes. My discussions with a friend in the country suggest nothing like that is available. And then it raises the question, if Belgians could in the future buy this way, why can't everyone else? It's very unlikely to work out that way because of this question.

You see, one country, and geographically not a very big one at that, is going to be taken by ZOS as an acceptable loss right now.

Thanks for all the answers guys !

Do you think using a VPN would work as a workaround ?

North American player, when I was on last night it said there were 11 hours left on them. I haven't been in the game yet today.

This only affects players at Belgian addresses.

Unless you mean you are in Belgium and playing on the NA server?

No, I am from Xbox NA and live in the USA and I had this issue as well. The Crown Store said it was slated to end 3 days early.

Well, that explains it.
I thought I was bugged and was about to reinstall everything.
I'm an ESO+ player and have been for over 2 years, also bought all the available chapters. I bought Crown Crates regularly.

I understand Bethesda's legal point of view, however, as both a resident of Belgium and loyal subscriber it is my understanding that I should be able to do with my money as I please and if that means purchasing Crown Crates where I may or may not get the items I want, it is still my choice, I am 18+.

I guess I have no choice but to find a Crown Crate seller now.

Will the items be put up for purchase later? I have crown gems and crowns saved for the sole purpose of that.

This is unfortunate and I can't help but feel very disappointed.

I know this post has been around for a year and a half now, but I just want to say that with the Shade polymorph being locked in a Crown Crate pack, Belgian players are effectively locked out of acquiring a certain item - ever.

So far I haven't seen any improvements - on the contrary.
