The servers went down for a full day in preparation for the launch but it turns out that it wasn’t long enough as players are running into numerous issues.

About a half-hour later they were able to update players with what was going on, but it definitely wasn’t what they wanted to hear as Bungie confirmed the issues were still ongoing.

“Emergency maintenance for Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 is still ongoing,” the Destiny developer said. “We apologize for the continued delay. Please stay tuned for updates on our progress.”
