Ogres are an original Horde race that really should be playable by now. There is no reason not to make them playable, and with all the work done with the Kul Tiran models, it is now easier than ever to make playable ogres a thing. I am excited for the day when I can run around Azeroth as an ogre!
Ogres are my most wanted race, and I am really hoping we eventually see them playable on the Horde sooner or later. Since it sounds like more allied races will be forthcoming at some point, all I can do is show my support and hope for the best!
Given that Ogres were considered for Cataclysm, I feel like they will come eventually. There are already a few clans in the Horde, with individual Ogres also joining up as evident from that one Ogre standing in line in, if I remember correctly, Orgimmar in Legion saying he wanted to join the Horde.
Hopefully we can drum up some support for them so Blizzard can take notice.
Yeah 3 Clans I believe, plus individuals like him, and also a bunch of Ogres (And Ogrons and Gronns) followed us back from Draenor during Mag’Har recruitment quest and joined us.
So the Horde has like 3 1/2 to 4 clans worth of Ogres.
You know what would be really neat? If a story line occurred where you unite various Ogre clans, maybe during the Ogre allied race unlock quest, for the Horde as a means of amassing a huge, strong army to go against the Alliance in some location as the finale of the quest. Imagine a giant wall of angry Ogres marching towards a city or outpost with air support of some kind. It would be a fearsome sight to see!
You would think, but it seems like whatever Ogres are currently in the Horde aren’t really utilized much in the war against the Alliance. From the top of my head, it is only in a few specific questing areas they have a presence of any sort.
I have to wonder what they’re even doing right now when they could be utilized in a more practical fashion.
