So here is what i have come to find out. Once you get the patching done you are free to login, BUT once you DO login your stuck with Login failed due to an unknown reason.
Theory: With so many people logging in there are not enough login slots for those already in + those wanting to login.
Correct me if I'm wrong on that theory.

Just got an automated response back from Cryptic. They've acknowledged that there's a bug and that they're working on it. I guess it's just a waiting game at this point.

The first time got timed out on the loading screen, and the second crashed while retrieving the map stating "unknown error" message again.
Same, got to the Character Select screen and was like, "WooT!" then failed to retrieve maps was like, "KAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHN!"
