Yes the concept is not new but the code that run's it is new. How is this better then other servers, simple when you throw a load of coded mods together you get conflicts. Things glitch and cause lag or just don't work so well, I have see this with other servers. However with EMC all the code used is custom done so those conflicts don't happen. You can buy a car that has been made using parts from loads of similar cars, it may work but not as well as a car that has had purpose made parts just to fit it and to improve its performance, this is EMC and this is unique in that way.
