Megathread: Ogres as Playable Allied race

Community General Discussion

Considering that the majority of the Horde population is BE, I am pretty sure this would be a waste of resources on implementing a race that likely will see the same level of racial adoption as goblins.

I expect to see a lot of helfers supporting this sad idea. :-1:

Taurens were not much popular and they still get a allied race spot with the highmountain.

Goblins are still common, they are not a huge sucess, but they were important but playable and lore-wise, see how much the horde evolved with technology

The point of allied races is exactly cut the resources, and implement then in a Easy way.

Sadly i can’t post images, i was planing to do a lot more, to show things more visually.

Yes please! I want to play a two headed Ogre! I don’t see what would be so difficult about adding that customization option.

Would love to see playable Ogres on the Horde and playable Nagas (real Nagas, none of this deep ocean Jinyu garbage) on the Alliance, particularly after we deal with Azshara/N’Zoth later this expansion.

Weren’t both these races on pace to be the BC player races until they needed to attract Asian audiences with BEs and determined Nagas were too hard to pull off?

You had me at Ogre, OP. I’m actually surprised Ogres aren’t a playable race yet. They should have been given to us in TBC instead of elves. IMO.

Signed.

Yes please. I’ve been wanting ogres as a playable race since I first saw them.

The main issue you have is that there hasnt been a female ogre in WoW, meaning that they would have to develop it from scratch…so it as an AR wouldnt be possible.

It would be a core race.

Make it a male only race since there aren’t any female ogres.

That is so much thought and effort put into this!

I wish someone would do so for the Alliance

Did you even check my spec??? and it isn’t the same as an Ogre.

They would kind of be too similar too Kul Tirans and Mag’Har already bring the racial fantasy of Ogres.

I always say the more options the better when it comes to the races. Ogres have been with us forever and would be a welcomed addition. I disagree with them being able to be rogues and DKs. I see size potentially being an issue. I don’t want a shrunken version of an ogre and Blizz isn’t going to want to raise and widen every door in the game.
