What preparations were made for this? It doesn't even feel like there were any.

@Korn south east anglia was completely unplayable. We had over 400 men starting in Fox Grove and the surrounding zones. We took the SE tunnel which I think had some effect on the game. Once we got near the zone cap in loamdell the game became completely unplayable. I was experiencing weird graphical glitches as well. SE Anglia seemed to not have enough server resources dedicated to it. Torthur#1785 if you want any additional details.

Dear players old and new,
Today is the first Invasion Day since the game went free to play.
The severs in general are struggling with the player load. In addition to that, there is the major issue that individual zones that are close to the player cap are experiencing so much that combat becomes unplayable. For that, we want to apologize.
Our tech team is closely monitoring these fights which will provide us with invaluable data to improve large scale combat performance going forward. This is one of our top priorities.
All the best,
Your Albion Online Team

Here's a video for you to "analyze". -
Limit the number of guilds per alliance PLEASE

Thanks for acknowledging this.

Agreed, there is no question about it. This must get fixed.

This is BAR NONE the worst reset day I've ever seen...even launch wasn't this bad.
This is horrible. Worse than the F2P launch. Running in place or trying to put an item into my bank and having it eventually appear back in my PC inventory is not fun. -
We'll be releasing an update next week on what we plan on doing for the next invasion cycle.

Sadly I have a feeling this issue can't be resolved for the size of ZvZ's we get, we're talking max zone caps with another 100+ players waiting to get in.
Time to rethink removing alliances to scale-down the ZvZ sizes?

What's the point of even spending actual money on this game? I've supported you guys in beta, upgraded to the highest tier game, paid ACTUAL money for premium unlike most players, and put hundreds of hours into your game.
Yet time and time again, you guys fall short of providing even a PLAYABLE experience. Why on earth would you make the game F2P without having the infrastructure in place to support it? You've ruined reset day for hundreds if not thousands of players, many of them being new to the game. I've been training up people for weeks now getting them ready for their first reset day experience only to have them be unable to even move and eventually get killed by other players who aren't lagging or frozen. -

Thanks man! It's not like you've set back many of the smaller/less powerful guilds and alliances significantly or anything! But it's OK because NEXT invasion cycle you'll totally get it right! You guys have a great track record! -
Someone can move in this lagfest? What blasphemy is this?

I bet they are witches! Look for signs of people being turned into newts. Unless they got better that is. -
But then again we don't even know if the amount of people is the issue, ever since the "hardware upgrade" happened ZvZ, even small scale like 20v20 are a lag fest, hands down something went very, very wrong with that "upgrade".

waste of time lol

Release a statement NEXT WEEK? About NEXT invasion day?
Reschedule this one, that was the stupidest shit any gamer has ever seen inside a video game. -
That's effectively a rollback, and if SBI refused to do a rollback when they almost ruined the entire Albion economy with their gold bug they sure as hell aren't going to do it now...

I think the only thing that would make me feel good would be if you just said:
"Sorry, we screwed up big time. We've secretly been remaking this game in another engine that handles networking and scaling better. In a month we will relaunch the game in Unreal/whatever and things will most likely be better"
-
Yeah they're absolute garbage at any kind of PR. Instead of simply apologizing and actually addressing their issues in a meaningful way, they always say "oh we'll get it right next time" and never do.

i dont know how albion devs instead of investigating issue just limit players per zone for now so it doest lag or atleast be playable or just buy new servers

Unfortunately, it's not a hardware issue. If the performance could be increased by adding more hardware, we would instantly do that.

Hmm... separating pvp content on different process so it would not affect / be affected by safe zones is not a hardware issue? Ok, perhaps a configuration issue, then?

out of curiosity can you provide a link to any article online, explaining (even in scientific or technical terms) what the bottleneck is, and how current technology can't solve it?
