The servers for the original AOE II were pulled long ago, and now we have new servers to play this still awesome game online with friends. The real addition of this however is the online. The game has been out for a few minutes now while people know that the devs are doing their best to work on the issues, so please show some patience. As soon as they heard about this problem the devs posted on multiple multimedia sites and their own site that they are working on the problem right now. Regarding the framedrops: when we got the privilege to play the game before it is officially out doesn't mean they will have every bug fixed, otherwise they could just release it for everyone at that time.
