    Do you need two copies of the game to have a non-steam and a steam account?
    Hoping for more playable races

    Steam had major issues with their servers for most of yesterday and this morning, so that's likely the cause of your issue.

    No. You link your steam account with your ESO account and then both can be used to log into your characters.

    BUT, any DLC or subscription plans purchased through Steam won't be available if you log in without Steam. Found this out the hard way x) Now I'm stuck using Steam >_>

    It does when linking your account to Steam that doing so will mean that all account management will be done through the platform. I would never advise anyone to link a non-Steam ESO account to Steam for that reason.

    I'm not sure what you mean by that. I linked my ESO account to Steam for convenience but I still do everything important through ESO (just make sure Steam is shut down before connecting to the ESO site). Since I bought both ESO and Morrowind through ESO I can log in using my ESO account when the Steam connection stuffs up, which it is somewhat prone to doing.
