I was thinking about the other races we could get as playable race and the ones we could see in the Brewfest. Of course, we have Ogres (who need to be playable now) but I could see Ankoan / Jinyu, Rajani Mogu, Sethrak, Tuskarr and Vrykul in the Brewfest too.
I took a screenshot of the Gordok vendors, who are surprisingly small. Then again, NPC Ogre models come in all sorts of sizes, and I assume this was done so it wouldnât be as visually busy as event areas normally are.
Iâll have to type more when I can. Today has been a busy day, so I havenât been able to do too much forum-wise. If youâre interested in Brewfest this year, however, there are some new items and a new drop from Direbrew added:
Hopefully Iâll be able to get some of the mounts from Direbrew to drop. Itâs suppose to be a chance only on the first kill of one character per account a day and I kinda want the Kodo one. Maybe Iâll get lucky one of the days Brewfest is up. ![]()

You know should the Gordek not be involved with playable Ogres, I wonder if they would be replaced by the clan(s) that are involved with playable Ogres.
Looking at that screenshot, it does remove the argument that Ogres are too tall to be a playable race.
What races Should become playable! appeared in my YouTube recommended and Ogres were the first mentioned.
Great video.
But where are the Rajani Mogu? ![]()
Itâs the only race missing in this video to be perfect. ![]()
Edit: So the Mogu arenât in this video but Kramwow says, in the comments, they take the same stance as Vrykul and they could absolutely work as an allied race. ![]()
Since the video already has Ogres, Saberon, and Furbolgs in it, having Saurok and Sanâlayn in it would make it perfect for me. Any other races would be icing on the cake, but those five are my most wanted playable races in general. ![]()

There is currently a q and a thread on both twitter and blue sky on the official world of warcraft accounts.
Besiege them with questions about why we do not have these twenty year old races.
Surprised you guys still exist.
We will never give up.
Weâre stubborn.
Yep. Weâre still here. And weâre still going strong! ![]()
I knew coming to the forums and making and supporting megathreads that it would be a long marathon instead of a quick sprint where nothing is guaranteed. That and I really want a few particular races playable, which is why I have regularly supported them in their respective megathreads for many years. I want them playable that much to keep at it for so long and still having the interest to continue onward. Even if it can be hard to do so some days.
Iâll always have character slots reserved for if I ever get lucky enough to see the races I want to become playable actually become playable. And one of those is for my Ogre character, of course. Especially since my Ogre character from my days of Everquest 1 and 2 was pretty important to me.
We Ogre fans are a dedicated bunch. Some have been at it since WoW was in beta. No plans to stop anytime soon! ![]()

Ogres has to honestly be one of the longest running player requested races in the entire game. I remember people talking about wanting Ogres before the game even launched.
Next monthâs Trading Post catalogue was officially shown, with the montly reward being a fel themed Elekk:
Nothing really Ogre related this month, but seeing as we have seen Ogre related stuff before, you never know if we will see any new Ogre stuff in future Trading Post catalogues. Especially if we get any more Ogre children battle petsâŚwhich is a phrase that feels a bit weird to type and read.
Anyway, Iâll continue to look at future Trading Post catalogues in case we see any new or old Ogre related items pop up.

In seeing the Legion Forged Elekk, I was reminded that the Elekk is a native creature to Dreanor, and I canât help but wonder if the Ogres have ever used them as mounts or to transport goods.
October is almost here, and the spookiest thing I can think of is that it has been many years and we still donât have playable Horde Ogres. But you can help turn that nightmare into a pleasant dream. Iâll show you how!
With the beginning of each month, I make in-game suggestions for each race I want to see playable along with a mention of their respective megathreads on these forums. While it is far from a guarantee of seeing our dreams come true, I do think every little bit helps, and doing it monthly I feel is reasonable and not that intrusive or annoying.
If youâre interested in doing the same for races you want to see playable, I made a little guide on how to do so in-game here:
Also a reminder, the Midnight deep dive is tomorrow. I wonât be able to watch live unfortunately, but if I see anything of particular interest in the Deep Dive or the Q&A, Iâll be sure to share in here. ![]()

While nothing Ogre was directly stated the deep dive revealed that Ogres were amongst the Horde forces that attacked Windrunner Spire in the Second War. Their ghosts will be dungeon mobs.
Meanwhile the ZulâAman section showed an Ogre void cultist at work.
Ion basically said new races are unlikely in the future that use custom rigs.
Fun.
