  • Regarding Rise of Iron I am a day 1 player that stopped playing last february but have been convinced by a friend to come back last month. I really like the way Destiny have evolved. The system is more balanced between pve and pvp, you don't have to stick to the raid anymore to reach max light (thank God) and Infusion is no longer painful. So after being convinced myself I am trying to recrute back my friends that quitted awhile ago to come back and join in Rise of Iron. I would like to know, will the next expension include access to the previous ones? like Taken King and House of Wolves? Because I have very good arguments regarding gameplay and fun stuff to do, but it would be great from Bungie to thanks and welcome back these old Year 1 player that could come back home to play the new Destiny has it is now becoming. If it is not plan to be included, I would strongly recommand doing so as I am sure it would have better potential to attract new and old players. Let me know if it makes sense!
