There is a server limit for AdventureQuest as the server can only hold so many players until it overloads and crashes, thereby going offline. This limits the number of non-paying players who can play the game at once. One of the perks for being a Guardian is the ability to access the game whenever one so wishes to do so, regardless of the server limit (except for when the server is offline). As of June of 2011, the server cap was removed.
