We're still investigating - we know that the issue is impacting only logins for the North American PC/Mac megaserver. Players who are already in the game are not impacted.

The problem appears to be that live-services.elderscrollsonline.com will not resolve. So either someone has poisoned the DNS cache someplace, or there's a problem with your primary DNS server for the elder scrolls domain.
Pull up a cmd prompt, try nslookup live-services.elderscrollsonline.com 8.8.8.8 and it fails.

Clearly there's an issue with the DNS servers that elderscrollsonline.com is using.
The solution is simple; make a static entry in your hosts file for live-services.elderscrollsonline.com
The IP for live-services.elderscrollsonline.com is supposed to be 198.20.198.110
I added this to my host file, and voila. No problem logging in. Just remember to remove it after things have been fixed.
Me to! Looks like I'll have to go investigate what that bright shiny thing is in the sky. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm surprised more people aren't trying my solution. Worked for me, I'm playing right now.
Here's a link on how to edit your hosts file:

Works for Windows 7 too. Just be sure to edit the file in administrator mode.
