Developer Updates Unfortunately, the EMC website was down for a few days last month due to a catastrophic drive failure. However, Aikar was able to get it running again and has been fixing bugs throughout the month. Please make sure you report any new issues with the website on this thread so that they can be fixed! EMC recently updated to 1.19.2! Check out this post for more information about what changed with the update. Please remember to report any bugs to pmdev.emc.gs! — To any of our players who are back in school, I hope you have a great semester! Remember to put school before EMC.
