Hey [url=https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/1/18150511/destiny-1-players-raids-community]this article here [/url]should pretty much answer your question. As far as Servers go, I would be highly surprised if they close down D1 servers anytime soon, if ever. I certainly doubt you would ever have it happen throughout the Destiny franchise lifespan. Again, I would be SHOCKED if D1 servers were shutdown any time at least in the next 3 years, if not much more. To conclude. Have friend buy the game(if on xbox, [url=https://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Collection-Xbox-One-Standard/dp/B01K63R7EW/?th=1]you can get an edition with rise of iron and EVERYTHING[/url] for 30 dollars, PS4 40$) There are still enough players around for you guys to do basically everything, though you may be matched up with some oddities(when I finished getting all the exotic swords on 360 last spring, I was matchmade with some south americans for the strike for the sword). Have fun sharing with him some of the things you enjoyed, and I would recommend seeking out other new players to teach them the raids etc as well. I highly recommend as well if you were a launch player, going over some of the history of Destiny. Talk about the old days of grinding day after day for a chance at gallahorn, or the rush to get mythoclast before the nerf. Mention how annoying it was to redeem your Exotic/Legendary engram for a Legendary/Rare weapon. Take him to the little statue/addition that bungie added to commemorate the loot cave. Hope this helps!
