Yes. Next
and we all know how that end up, people get over hyped by shiny new things and blizzard gives anyway
just keep the flame alive i maybe not around here for a time
Good to see this thread is still going. Playable Ogres = 
I still prefer Mokânathal over Ogres but Iâd play an Ogre any day. Still donât understand why they werenât added before or after the Goblins. They actually shouldâve been added before BEâs imo.
Keep the dream alive.

So awhile back I wrote my own scenario idea regarding Dustwallow Marsh and the Stonemaul Ogres getting their home back in a few posts within this megathread. Iâm thinking of planning out a scenario around Dire Maul in Feralas, since that is also a loose thread regarding the Stonemaul Clan Ogres.
I mentioned a few Dire Maul related ideas before in this megathread, and with recent events, it throws a few wrenches into some of them, but I might be able to make it work. Iâll have to do some research on a few things, of course, so it will be awhile before I type something up.
The purpose of it is just to illustrate some ideas of implementing Ogres as a playable race, focusing on the Stonemaul Ogres of course, and tying up the many loose ends with them that have yet to be resolved.
Also, with 8.3 coming early next year, weâll likely see the Horde council in Orgimmar. Iâll have to take a look to see what they do with the council, but I assume theyâll be standing in Grommash Hold. Itâll be good to see a more friendly version of the Hordeâs leadership when I am able to do my âMarch of the Stonemaulâ idea.
Even through the darkest days, this fire burnsâŚalways!

Playable Ogres should be a thing, but personally Iâd go for Stonemaul rather than ANYTHING from Draenor.

Some of us have wanted Ogres since the beginning. Along with a school bus mount
Every race has its detractors. Just look at the distaste for Vulpera. Thatâs no reason to not have Ogres. An Ogre presence in the Horde is long overdue.

I noticed in another thread you mentioned you wrote a scenario for Vulpera(?). Was wondering if you write scenarios for all your toons? Do you feel you have to write a scenario/story for any toon you make or is it just the ones you really enjoy?
Just dawned on me after reading this that with the Horde council being finally implemented that Rexxar might have more of a say or carry more weight. Not sure if heâs on the council but I doubt anyone would keep him off being that he has been with the Horde longer then anyone on the council if memory serves.
He could suggest recruiting the Ogres or my favorite Mokânathal. I think Ogres carry more weight in forums and have been wanted far longer so I could see them coming first and opening the way for Mokânathal in the future. I still never understood why Ogres didnât get made around Cata. Was hoping for them instead of Goblins tbh.

Ogre Shamans? Hell Yeah!, long long overdue⌠itâs said a core race of the horde isnât playable⌠why canât they use the female Kulâtiran model for female ogre if they want a quick fat model itâs just easy too.

I could support thisâŚbut you would really need to hit a home run on alternative race for alliance side, otherwise might as well put in a fork in them after vulpera.
Vrykul would probably be the only thing that would balance it out to me.

When I use the term âscenario,â I usually refer to typing up something with NPCâs that you would see in-game or is just used as a concept to promote ideas and support for the race the particular megathread was themed after. Itâs similar to some of the writings I did for the Sanâlayn megathread, but I did do it for this megathread and also at least one piece for the Vulpera megathread. I do plan to do some of that for my Saurok megathread at some point as well.
In the case of Ogres, I wrote three posts of a questline, meant as a conceptual idea which acts as a way to reintroduce Ogres as they reclaim their home in Dustwallow Marsh. If youâre interested in seeing those posts, you can find them with the following links:
Theyâre not perfect of course, and the story has since changed when I did type these up, but some ideas can still kinda work.
As for my actual player characters, I do think of backstory for the majority of them. Iâve mentioned this before a few times, but I am planning to type up fiction involving them in different groups on adventures, similar to how you might see a Dungeons and Dragons campaign play out. Itâs a fun thing to plan out, but itâll be awhile before I really get started thanks to real life obligations, such as working towards my career.
Rexxar doesnât really strike me as someone that would want to stay in a city, let alone help run it. While it could work, it would be good to see an Ogre leader, in the case of the Stonemaul Clan this would be Tharg, speaking for the Horde Ogres on the council. This would also leave Rexxar as a potential leader for Mokânathal if they ever become playable in some fashion.
Speaking of Rexxar, I havenât seen him in a long while, and given how he was all gung-ho of killing Jaina, Iâm not sure what he really thinks of the recent events of âmaking peaceâ with the Alliance once again. I do know that in Stormwind, many of the Alliance leaders and notable named NPCâs were placed around the embassy with thoughts on recent events, but I havenât heard of the Horde getting their version yet, assuming they will get one. I assume Rexxar would be around in the area and we would see what he says about the situation.
It does seem like a good thing to keep an eye out for.
The Stonemaul Clan is the one Ogre clan that makes the most sense to have as the playable Ogre faction for many reasons. Namely, they have had history with the Horde since Warcraft III and are already part of the Horde. Not to mention that the Stonemaul Clan, as Iâve said over and over again in this megathread, totally owes the Horde quite a bit for what they have done for them. Itâs a reason why it baffles me that the Horde doesnât utilize them for anything, such as nameless grunts fighting in various battles in BfA or helping against world ending threats.
In my personal opinion, Vrykul would make a great Alliance counterpart to Horde Ogres getting playable. Iâll list my reasoning for them again:
- Both are big, savage races.
- They both make their own ships (Orc ships are designed from Ogre ships) and make excellent shipwrights.
- They are both the progenitors of Humans (Vrykul) and Orcs (Ogres).
Iâm sure there are other races you could pair with Horde Ogres, and new pairs of races donât necessarily have to have some sort of relation or interaction with the other. This particular pair just seems fitting, in my opinion.

I would support this 100%. I do Hope Ion and the other dev team see this.

Horde has enough big races
Then tell them to play ESO, where every playable race that isnât Argonian or Khajit are either a human or an elf.
Yes even the Orcs.
Yeah gimme them Ogres!
I might actually play a mage if ogres became playable.

Easily could, the male kultiran animation rig is used for the blood troll war mothers.
I think this would be great as well. Then weâd just need Mokânathal to balance it all out.
Humans > Kultiran > Vrykul
Orcs > Mokânathal > Ogres
base > hybrid > giant progrenitors

Ogres and Taunka should have been first on the list for allied races instead of ones that literally were just helped by the alliance but decide oh yea lets join a war against them because idk Tyrande called me the b word. Even a false flag staged by Sylvanas would have been better
