Bungie has confirmed they shut down the servers to help prepare us for a main event that will take place in the final moments of the Beta. The servers will come back on Wednesday when the Xbox players can play. The main event will take place 2 PM Pacific time and the rewards will be permanent.

Many things will change. My guess is we will have access to more of the story, 1 or 2 more multiplayer maps, more areas to explore, and possibly a level cap increase.
Bungie has something special for us hours before the Beta ends, what could it be?

I really like this game but also a little concerned about a few things like the level max might be 20 because they don't show anything above 20 and PvP. Bungie has really changed my view on videos games like I never played anything like this and every other game I have is boring now that I played destiny beta
