The time has come

Though the decision had mostly been made in my mind some time ago, tonight it will be official. I will be a Razorback no more. Bryu (my mage buddy) and myself have both decided that it is our time to separate from the Razors. Bryu has been there for most of life on Azeroth and I've been there about a year. In this time, we've had some good times but at the same time, we've had some major disappointments. We've seen raid attendance drop to the point where we couldn't do them at all anymore. We saw the rise of a stigma against us, though we're a very small guild. Somehow we managed to get seen as real jerks to a lot of people on our server and no one wants to join a guild of jerks. This had nothing to do with our departure however.
We have decided to answer the call of the raids. We have spent many hours discussing what we wanted out of the game and both of us agreed that we wanted to see the endgame. We both tried several times to jump start raiding in the Razorbacks. We both failed several times. Eventually we figured that it most likely wouldn't happen for this round of endgame with the Razorbacks. So, we're moving on.
We actually had a guild drop into our laps that was already an established raiding guild on Zul'jin, AWOL. Bryu had ran Ulduar with them a few weeks ago and they offered an open invite then. We ran some Randoms with them on Friday night and they liked me as well, opening an invite to TOC25 on Sunday. I went to that, which was my first time there. I came in as DPS and ended up laying somewhere dead more often than not (due to a new UI interface, new people, new instance, etc) but it was a blast. Talking with the raid leader afterwards, he issued an open invite to join them as well.
Bryu and myself spoke with the Razorbacks GM, whom we work with, and told him the scoop. He understood and was alright with it, saying that we always had a home in the Razors if we wanted it. We will obviously remain in contact with the Razors, leaving alts in the guild and providing insight as former Mage and DK Class Leaders. In to the future as AWOL!
