@joelyates92 This means Microsoft ran out of valid game keys, again. They will be resupplied momentarily. ESOC is a community organisation and can't supply you with any keys.

ACCOUNT LOGIN FAILED: (100) BAD CD KEY
Whenever I go to multiplayer, ESO online, it tells me when I try to make an account. "ACCOUNT LOGIN FAILED: (100) BAD CD KEY". I have tried deleting the game, but it seems like it's my CD key that is in use, og isn't activated although I have the game. Please help.

I'm in the same boat here and tbh it's quite vexxing. My friends (3 of them to be exact) all bought this game within this past week and I owned it for some time but never went online. All of them could make online accounts with ease and I ran into error 101. Ran the script, tried again, same thing. I went so far as to remove the game from my steam permanently, and was gifted a new key, uninstalled/reinstalled and even that didn't work. I'm kind of at a loss as to why this game would go on sale for steam summer sale and yet they issue bogus keys like this.

@Sweeze101 make sure you are doing it in the vanilla version of the game and not the expansions

The problem is you don't actually ever get a new key this way. You have to use a different Steam account and then run the 101 script.

Oh wow that's something I did not know but speculated after researching this further. Thanks for the insight, thankfully I was able to have someone in the community make an account for me so I should be set.
