Good work on this. You’re right about them being in the game since vanilla. Why would Blizz do this? Introduce some fox race from this xpac and ignore a race that players have been asking for since the beginning of the game? If horde gets Ogres, Alliance should get Furlbogs. Do that one next.

I think a large majority of us would rather have Sethrak.

Racial; corrupted.
Someone nearby forgot to wash their hands and now all of your village has become corrupted and has to be exterminated.

They look really good. It would be neat if they took some inspirations from here when designing Ogre armor for playable Ogres…of course, it would be nice if they remembered the Stonemaul Clan from Rexxar’s campaign and were inspired to finally give us playable Horde Ogres. <- <;
On another note, 6 days until Blizzcon starts! With the 15th WoW anniversary and Warcraft III Reforged stuff being shown off, it would be a great time to bring back the Stonemaul Clan into doing something in WoW finally!..well, I can hope, at least. x- x;

I would love to see Mok’Nathal someday, but full-on ogres are a no go for me.
I agree, too many elves and now small furry creatures? What has become of our ferocious Horde?!?!

Ogres should never have been removed during the late stage of WoW’s development.
Let us play one of the oldest races in the franchise.

Ogres are too big, they would need to make midget ogres. I don’t play the bovine race because they too big. Midget Ogres that aren’t Orcs would be cool.
Ogres are a core horde race. They should have been playable from the start. Blizzard doesn’t want to create a brand new female model for ogres with unique animations, however they could use the rig for the fat blood troll females and add tweak animations where necessary.

Ogres are smaller than Taurens and Zandalari trolls by lore.
Well you could just not play ogres too, not all races are for everyone, i don’t play knife ears too.

I don’t know why Bliz doesn’t add Ogres as playable race, just look at all the allied races OP named! All the work already done abs now just needs to get added imo.

Well, Blizzcon is almost here. The chances of seeing what the next expansion are decent, and while I temper my expectations, I still hope we’ll see Horde Ogres have some role in it, preferably as a playable Horde race.
Will the Horde finally remember they have three clans of Ogres within their ranks and utilize them?
Will the Stonemaul Clan get off their butts and finally retake their home?
Will Dire Maul finally be taken over for the Horde and be home to one of the most epic parties ever?
Will Tharg help us laugh about love again?
Let us hope we see the answers at Blizzcon…

Well, for what it is worth, I posted an Ogre question in the QnA thread:
I’ll be surprised if it gets answered, but it is worth a shot.
While I’m hopeful to at least see the Horde Ogres get utilized and help out in the next expansion, I feel like they’ll be sleeping through yet another world ending threat. x- x
Hopefully it won’t be 15 more years before we see them playable. ← <

Pray to the Earth Giants, Pray to the Magnaron, Pray to the Gronn and serve the Ogron that someday we get Ogres.

Well, I knew the chances of Horde Ogres being asked about were low, so I’m not surprised that none of the questions asked involved them. I did notice one question in particular that seemed interesting:
"Q: With Mechagnomes wearing armor leglessly, can there be playable races with more or less than 2 legs?
A: Maybe! We like experimenting. New tech for Mechagnomes can be experimented with."
Mainly the experimenting part. I mean, if more than 2 legged races or no-legged races are possible, then I don’t see why Ogres can’t be experimented with to make them playable.
Anyway, unless 8.3 possibly does something, it’s looking like Horde Ogres are again hibernating through another expansion, forgotten by everyone. Guess at this point, I’ll have to hope that the Horde remembers them during Shadowlands to help with the whole kerfuffle Sylvanas has gotten us into, as little chance as that is.
Still, I’ll never give us hope. For better or worse, I’ll still help support Horde Ogres as a playable race. There are still some ideas and writings I want to do in the future, and maybe when the Horde council gets put on live servers, I’ll look into doing my “March of the Stonemaul Clan” idea finally.
Buckle up everyone. We’re in it for the long haul. Let us hope we see Horde Ogres sooner than later!

Found something of general allied race interest in an interview WowHead posted:
Specficially the last question:
"Any allied races planned for later in the Shadowlands?
Allied races should feel thematically appropriate. A lot of the races encountered at the end of Legion and BFA fit, as people we discovered become embroiled in the wars we’re fighting and both sides are looking for reinforcements, but Shadowlands doesn’t really have that feeling at the start. It’s something they’ll look at and see how players react to certain races, but nothing is planned for the launch of Shadowlands."
While I’m expecting Horde Ogres to once again continue to hibernate through Shadowlands, the interesting thing to note is the last sentence, regarding seeing how players react to certain races. While the context is meant towards races that appear in current expansions, it does tell me, to a certain extent, that Blizzard does look at feedback when deciding playable races.
In some cases, it takes awhile for some requested races to become playable. Mag’har and Dark Iron Dwarves, for example, took years of requests before they became playable. Even boneless customization for Forsaken is coming up with the next expansion.
While not a guarantee we’ll see a race playable, showing support of some sort is a good thing, even if it may be awhile before we potentially see any results. It’s a reason I type a lot for this megathread and few others for the races I want playable. It’s better to show support of some sort instead of silently hoping. As such, I’ll continue to support Ogres with ideas, writings, and other things occasionally as best as I can.
For better or worse, I’ll always support Ogres as a playable Horde race.
