Important: How to interpret resource usage numbers?
The values on game cards (e.g. ~500 MB – 1 GB) represent the RECOMMENDED AVERAGE USAGE of that specific game, NOT your resource cap. Your free server is allocated the full 3 GB of RAM, giving you generous headroom for plugins, mods, and smooth lag-free gameplay!
