Also back in, also PC NA west coast. Load screens are a bit longer than usual, but seems fine otherwise.
For anyone interested... did a bit of looking around and it seems like the login issues happening have to do with at&t services being down in certain areas (around wichita in my case and a friends) that is causing routing issues. (tracert to eso servers time out in wichita, and found a few reports that at&t services are down in the area) If that is the case I'm pretty sure there is near nothing zos can do but wait till att gets it sorted out since nothing they do with their servers will fix this particular problem.
Also, you can always run the trace yourselves to find out if the same is happening in your case. At least you will have somewhat of an idea of whats going on.

I played at launch for a few months and came back last April or so and never thought their server stability was that much of an issue. However, these past few months have been seriously bad. Between the DDOS, them taking down servers and piggybacking a Monday patch on a Saturday / Sunday, and so on - seriously, I get it.
This sort of stability is something I would expect from a newly launched title during their first couple months, not an established MMO that has had 3 yrs to get their *** together.
I still cannot log in. We absolutely deserve an extension to the double AP event and a discount on our monthly sub.

I think they should give everyone who hasn't been able to log on today a 3-legged hamster pet.

I logged in from Tulsa on At&*** just a few minutes ago. Worked okay. But then I logged out, canceled my Plus membership and here I am.

The double AP event is for testing. Whether or not they extend it is up to them, but it's not like the holiday events.

Testing or not, it's a limited time event that was scheduled. That schedule is seriously getting screwed up. I seriously don't get the defense on ZOS, or any other game company for that case. They don't even need to pay a PR company, b/c they have fans blindly defending them.
A company issues their customers a service, I pay for that service, that service gets disrupted, that service should be extended. ZOS is not the underdog here.
