This guy here got 60000 Crowns! Just casually borrowed it from Merle Ambrose's stash in the closet. Nah. I got 5000 though and if you want more, you can watch ads in-game which helps supports KI and that advertiser, but if you are worried about buying areas with Crowns, just buy membership. The game is so much fun being able to go everywhere with some bonus features. But Crowns are good too! Just your playing style that really matters.
