For two years now, Reason has been the dominant raiding guild on Kael'Thas, and our history on our old server, Eldre'thalas, stretches back almost another year to February of 2005. During this time over a hundred people have raided actively, and well over a hundred more have considered Reason their home within WoW either as casual raiders or non-raiders. We've been around a long time. Many people have joined our ranks as raiders, or just as friends and family; many of us have quit the game, left the server, or gone casual; but ultimately the names on the guild forums haven't changed all that much. New friends have joined us, but our old friends have never really left; people that quit the game years ago still visit the boards regularly. This is why Reason is not disbanding.
We have, however, decided to depart from the raiding scene as a guild. The game has grown tiring for many of us, with some of us quitting months ago, and some only recently departing or expressing our ennui in the last few weeks. The handful of us still interested in serious raiding are looking for new guilds and new servers with which to raid. Many of us are going casual, and it seems like most of the guild is now enjoying a fresh gaming environment in Hellgate: London.
As a guild we plan to farm Zul'Aman -- ten-man instances are perfect for us now -- and we'll likely casually play many of the 25 man instances, but don't expect Hyjal, BT, or Sunwell updates. That's not our gig anymore.
Many people, especially those outside the guild, have seen this as the death of Reason, but it's really just a change of direction. Let's call it a renaissance: a new age of Reason.
