When I joined Disco, there were not even ship size restrictions on IDs, shortly before the server cap was raised to 128, I believe. When I was editing the Alster Union's information page, the Alster Union being the former Unioner faction, it always brought me a smile to see a fleet of Unioners in Corsair ships armed with Nomad cannons bombing a RepEx Rheinland battleship. Those were the days...
Restrictions? They offer specific RP to be tried and tested in a much more controlled environment. As you can see, IDs are getting opened after a long period of testing. Keepers, now Khara. SCRA. Either the testing period was a success, or the closed factions just died out.
