Should I come back to Destiny 2
I stopped playing destiny 2 right when Curse of Osiris came out. I had a falling out with the game and decided to not spend more money on it. But, after all this time later I'm starting to hear that the game has improved, that Curse of Osiris and Warmind are free now, and that paid DLC is standalone. I am considering returning but I have a few questions that I hope somebody can answer.
1) Would it be fun and worthwhile, for a player who has not played this game since December 5, 2017, (almost two years ago!) to start playing this game again?
2) Is it even possible to get to the max light level in a reasonable amount of time? Or will I just be super far behind when each expansion comes out?
3) Did sparrow racing ever come back and/or will it ever come back again?
4) I'm not sure if I want to buy shadowkeep yet. If I don't, will I not be able to play endgame activities like nightfalls?
5) I've never been in an active clan so I played through most of Destiny 1 and vanilla Destiny 2 solo. How much of the new stuff could I do as a solo player?
Thanks for putting up with my rambling I'd really appreciate what current players think about this. I've been missing this franchise recently and thought if anyone could give advice on coming back to the game it would be these forums. Tell me what you think, I'm all ears.

[quote]2) Is it even possible to get to the max light level in a reasonable amount of time? Or will I just be super far behind when each expansion comes out?[/quote] You start the game at 750 power, this is the lowest level know, even for old players. I am 905 power after 3 days without playing too much. But i have no idea how much it will be long to reach 950 and then 960. [quote]3) Did sparrow racing ever come back and/or will it ever come back again?[/quote] The developers talk about SRL sometimes, but nothing new since a while. [quote]4) I'm not sure if I want to but shadowkeep yet. If I don't, will I not be able to play endgame activities like nightfalls?[/quote] Yes, i do not have Shadowkeep, but i can do all the nightfalls. Actually the new strikes are free (but only through the strike playlist, not from the orbit.) The seasonal artifact is really cool, you can upgrade it with XP and it increase your power on all your characters. But you won't be able to the new raid, dungeon and Vex invasion. [quote]5) I've never been in an active clan so I played through most of Destiny 1 and vanilla Destiny 2 solo. How much of the new stuff could I do as a solo player?[/quote] I leaved my clan, and mostly play solo now, with some friens some times and i really enjoy the game. I do not know exactly what is present in New Light, but nost of the activities have a matchmaking, even the new nightfall system (not for all difficulties) and i got a nightfall specific reward today.
