Are limited servants considered to be the kind of servants that won't show up ever again?

Means that they are only availible during specified periods, they might not be availible now but they will be at somepoint in the future, so be patient and shuten will be availible eventually.

Limited Servants are those that appear during certain events or celebrations and cannot be rolled in the Story Summon gacha. Every limited Servant has had at least one rerun due to their respective events getting reruns as well.

It's going to be interesting to see what NA does with Illya, actually. Prisma Codes hasn't had a rerun yet, but she did get a second release about a year after that event, on a special banner to celebrate the premiere of the Prisma Illya movie. That's another of those banners we probably won't get in NA (just like we never got the two CEs or Karna/Arjuna rateup from the AnimeJapan 2016 Campaign), so if we're going to get her next rateup they'll either have to repackage that banner as a different celebration or come up with a new banner and an excuse to put her on it.

She will get a rate up in the new year.

Limited Servants are limited in the sense they can't randomly appear in a gacha roll, you can only get them when they are on rate up.
Most of them are expected to come back around eventually, but sometimes it takes a long time, MHX in particular took over two years to get another rate up after her first run.

WOW 2 years? That's too long lol

Limited only means they can only be summoned from gachas that their on rate up
Shuten should have one next year with the rerun and another one a few months after that
Cleo and Ishtar both gets rate ups again next year with the rerun of this year's Halloween and Christmas events
Next time please post questions like this in the help thread

Limited just means they come back whenever the feel like it. The tagline in any gacha game for such is “this character may appear again at a later date” and they keep it vague on purpose to get people to roll as much as they can thinking the next chance will be too far away.
Some servants are just luckier than others with the amount of rate ups they get.

Sounds like NA has an advantage since NA can see the banner schedule.

You are correct in that. A pretty popular meme is that the NA server has EX Claivoyance when it comes to planning ahead for events. The EX is the highest rank, and clairvoyance is a skill that servants have that shows how good they are at predicting things.

Limited time servants are bound to come back eventually, whether it's the GSSR, a rerun or a new event altogether.
Oddly enough, welfare servants are actually harder to get than their event limited SSR counterparts. Where as Limited time servants are bound to return, welfares are forever unnatainable to newer players after the rerun is over.

Most of the time, they willl showup again.

They typically show up again at some point. Shuten shows up again in the Rashomon event rerun, Shimosa Summoning Campaign 2, Setsubun event and the "KYOMAF2018 Exhibit Commemoration Summoning Campaign" as well as three of the guaranteed gacha's so far in Japan (granted that's a single try each time and there's a LOT of servants in the pool).
Honestly I don't think any limited servants don't get reruns. Bryn was the most notorious I think for having the longest time before she showed up again.
If you check the Wikia http://fategrandorder.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/Grand_Order_Wikia (at least until the domain gets changed soon allegedly...) the bottom of each servant's page will list and link you to the different summoning campaigns they're available in if they are limited servants.
"Limited" just refers to servants that aren't added to the permanent story summons pool and/or general pool of servants that you can get on any banner despite them not being on rate up. "Story locked" notably are only available in the story summon pool and don't show up as a potential non rate up servant while summoning in rate up banners that do not specifically include them. For example Cu Alter is in the permanent story summon pool but is story locked and thus cannot be summoned while you're summoning a normal rate up banner (say for the current Halloween event) while someone like Altera is in the general pool and could be.
MHX has the longest.
Ah. Did that change at some point after Bryn finally got her rerun but MHX still hadn't? I think it was before that where I remember the meme being a thing with Bryn.
Might also be less people caring about MHX considering a lot of people consider her to be quite bad while Bryn is actually quite good if not potentially the best Buster Lancer.
Well, MHX finally got her rerun, but before that, yeah it went along the idea of what you said.
MHX went unsummonable for a little bit over 2 years for f2p players, Bryn went like a year and 5 months.
Wtf that's insane. I feel bad for anyone on NA that wasn't able to pull her.
MHX first came before Bryn and had her rerun after Bryn's Nerofest so she was the longest, but people don't care much about MHX so less memes.
It's funny how people seem to always forget MHX and assume Brynhildr is the one who hasn't appeared again.
I literally mentioned in another response to this that I don't play JP. I remember Bryn because of how it was a Meme how long she hadn't been available again. I guess nobody cares about MHX not getting a rerun since she's just...actually bad.
My point was more that no matter how long it takes to get a rerun all of the limited servants DO get reruns.
Ah thanks this was very helpful information.
I thought Bryn and MHX were tied for longest time off the summon pool?
Maybe? I'm not totally sure. I just remember that Bryn was literally a meme that she'd been unavailable for so long.
I don't even play on JP so I don't really know short of looking it up.
Just did some quick calculations based on the dates listed for MHX and Bryn. Bryn has had 3 campaigns with 574 days between the end of the her first and the start of her second. MHX has had 2 campaigns with 771 days between the end of her first and beginning of her second. This does not include guaranteed gachas but even if it did MHX would still win as she came out a week before Bryn.
Fujino only had one banner though
Fujino was released as a limited servant within the last year. It's not uncommon for limited servants to not get reruns for a year or slightly more. She's also in a slightly weird spot as a 4 star limited servant and thus won't show up in Guaranteed Gacha's and such most likely. Her not having a rerun yet isn't remotely surprising.
She might show up this year around New Years depending on what they do for that.
Thing is, Fujino debuted in an otherwise rerun banner so who knows when she is coming back
I mean yes, but that hasn't stopped other characters from being rerun. Ilya debuted in the Prisma event which has never had a rerun and yet she's still came back on two different banners.
