I don't know if any of you have friends that are stuck on last gen, but I was last-gen up until earlier this week, and before I sent up my profile, I was unable to speak on bungie.net. At all. Couldn't reply to people's comments, couldn't comment myself, couldn't create topics. It seems Bungie has entirely silenced last-gen. Whether you're for or against this, I just wanted people to know.
Your account should certainly work if you're on last gen. We can still look up if you have an account on a last-gen console. If you come across someone else who is experiencing this issue, feel free to have them private message me, Cozmo, Achronos, a mentor, or ninja.
There are people still using the old-gen recruitment forums, so I have to assume their accounts are still working. But I don't rule out the possibility of a chunk of accounts getting into a bad state.
How long were you on last gen for, if you don't mind my asking?
