Oh, I haven’t seen anything to suggest that they’ll be added any time soon. They did an April Fool’s post once that announced two-headed ogres that could be played by two people that was pretty entertaining.
As far as the ogre desire, that’s been here since Vanilla. I think the onset of allied races just really upped the traction on race request threads past anything that was seen pre-BFA.
I’ve always felt like the vrykul if they were to join a faction would join the horde due to both of them sharing a love for combat. Orcs and Vrykul seem like they would get along great sharing stories about the enemies they’ve crushed.
BFA would have been the perfect expansion for Vrykul with the naval theme.
Kul Tiran humans are just such an odd thing to have added when so many other options existed.
It could have even tied into the whole Shadowlands theme with Odyn and his followers or even the Northrend Vrykul and their people being used by the Lich King.
Ogres are long overdue for the Horde. They have been an ally since the second war.
Well there are some kul tirans with vrykul blood in them because they did the nasty in the pasty with some of the drust who joined their side against gorak tul. IIrc blizz has said that the kul tiran males / females we pick aren’t indicative of that blood or not i’m assuming to open things up for rp but, its totally a plausible explanation that a kul tiran has some vrykul blood in them that hasn’t been diluted enough to be essentially pointless.
One problem with vrykul is that they’re probably too tall to fit in existing building entrances in this game. They’d probably need to be shrunk down to be playable, or lots of places would have to be adjusted.
Why not both? Playable Ogres and Saurok on the Horde are my most wanted races, and it would make my day to see them as playable Horde races!
If you’re interested in playable Horde Saurok, I do operate the Saurok megathread here:
Yes! The Horde has three clans within their ranks:
The MU Stonemaul Clan have been part of it since Warcraft 3.
The AU Stonemaul Clan came from AU Draenor at the end of the Mag’gar unlock scenario when we escaped Yrel and the Lightbound.
The Dunemaul Clan was technically recruited by Megs Dreadshredder during Cataclysm.
Which makes their absence during BfA, a huge war with the Alliance, baffling and frustrating. Would’ve been a perfect time to make them a playable Horde race. Especially since the MU Stonemaul Clan played a huge part in attacking Theramore and Jaina’s father in Warcraft 3. -o -
