That would be cool, especially if the mounted boars are armored. I can just see creatures running from a decked Ogre riding an armored boar.

I assume some tribes on MU Draenor used boars for various tasks, especially since we see some utilizing them in AU Draenor. We donāt really see any of the clans on Azeroth with them since the model wasnāt created until WoD became a thing, but that can always change.
Itās possible those boars are there because it was considered an updated model and placed on Exileās Reach because of it as opposed to lore reasons. Kinda funny that it opened that line of thinking as a result, but itās still an interesting thought.
Itās a pretty awesome sight. It also makes sense, seeing as some of the Ogres on AU Draenor are riding them as mounts. Add some armor to the mount and toss the AU Stonemaul Clan in with the MU Stonemaul Clan, and it solves a number of questions about playable Ogres. Not all questions of course, but several of them. 
Dream big, Ogre fans!

Happy Halloween everyone! 
I wish I was able to do more this year, as Iāve been a bit busy IRL. If youāre interested, I did cover the Horde Ogre clans celebrating Hallowās End in a previous post, which you can find here past the grumbling of a book release date being pushed back:
Whatever your plans are for today, I hope everyone has a fun, happy, and safe Halloween!

Happy late Halloween.
Anyways I have to be honest, every time I see a post showing off Ogres in Orgrimmar I just get a bit disappointed that they still are not playable.

So Iāve been leveling some new alts (really happy to have more character slots!) and this time I remembered to take a screenshot of the part where you turn into an Ogre via illusion for a quest. I also used the heirloom mount in it:
There seemed to be different looks to the Ogre Iāve gotten. On my Horde characters, it has always been the one-eyed Ogre look, but Iāve had a couple others on two different Alliance characters.
I donāt know if this model uses the Draenor Ogre model or the newer ones used in Exileās Reach. At any rate, if we see playable Horde Ogres become a thing, itās possible they would be treated like allied races as opposed to being able to start in Exileās Reach. Even if they are able to, the part of the questline doesnāt really need to change. You can just say itās an illusion of that specific clanās Ogre with regards to looks and such, so it is workable.
Anyway, just a fun screenshot I wanted to share. Always fun to walk around as an Ogre, but I hope to be the real thing someday for one of my characters!
Dream big, Ogre fans!

I think theres like four types of ogre you can get there. Iāve only ever had the reddish one with the shoulderpad and that one there.

A new month means a new round of in-game race request suggestions!
At the beginning of each month, I usually send in-game feedback for each of the races I want to see and refer to their megathreads on here for more information. I figure it can only help to gain some interest in our requests of what weād like to see, though no guarantees itāll lead to that ever becoming a reality.
If youāre interested in doing something similar for your wanted playable races, I made a guide in the following post that explains how to do it in steps:
Gotta keep up the playable Horde Ogre support! As always, dream big, Ogre fans!

So while leveling one of my new alts (did I mention how happy I am to have more character slots?), I came across an interesting part of a quest in Feralas I wanted to go over. It involves a Gordunni Orb.
The quest itself involves you getting an orb from a Gordunni Warlock and starts here:
After you beat up a Gordunni Warlock and get an Orb, youāre sent to this Ogre Warlock that is part of the MU Stonemaul Clan:
Interesting note is that this Ogre confirms the MU Stonemaul Clan has warlocks within their ranks, so that should be a class playable Horde Ogres get.
Anyway, upon looking at the corrupted orb that is being supplied to the Gordunni Ogres, he wants you to capture a Gordunni Mage via a change to the orb he made so he can interrogate them:
In the ending of the questline cutscene, he says something of interest:
āSwarājan says: Iāll hold onto this orb forā¦safe keepingā
Seems kinda suspicious, doesnāt it? Well, we donāt know if anything came of this action since this questline occurred during Cataclysm. Thus, I canāt say whether this Ogre Warlock has nefarious plans or if there was something else less suspicious, like research of some sort.
Itās something I thought Iād bring up. I donāt know what direction this could go, aside from the usual corruption that the Stonemaul Clan seems to keep fighting against. Maybe weāll see what happened if we eventually see the MU Stonemaul Clan again in the future. Itās something for me to put in my āthings to check onā folder of my brain if the MU Stonemaul Clan appear again.

That is interesting. I always figured that playable Stonemaul would get to be warlocks but that was more because of encountering various Ogre warlocks over realizing that they personally had warlocks in the clan.

I think most Ogre clans have Warlocks within their ranks. I suppose it makes sense, given what happened on MU Draenor when the Ogres joined the Horde. Iām guessing several Ogre Warlocks got their power and knowledge from Gulādanās influence, which carried over to when Ogres arrived and lived on Azeroth.
Iām assuming itās a situation where the MU Stonemaul Clan is dubious to Warlocks within their ranks, but still tolerated for various reasons. Until the clan gets more fleshed out, itās hard to really guess what their general view on Warlocks are. Still, itās good to see something official to show that they have Warlocks.
Iāll have to look at the various NPCās in the clan to see what all classes are represented in the MU Stonemaul Clan. I suspect itās the usual obvious classes of Warrior, Shaman, Mage, and Warlock, but itād be good to have documented as references. Iāll have to take a look sometime.

Even through the darkest days, this fire burns. Always! 
As I said before, Iām in it for the long haul in supporting playable Ogres and Saurok for the Horde. Theyāre a big dream that is worth supporting, even if it can seem like a really uphill battle at times. Or a mountain to tackle. Still, we Ogre fans have been at it for quite awhile, having climbed many a mountain. Says a lot about our passion that many of us keep at it regardless of how tough it can be at times. 
Granted, I still maintain the stance that anything I do on here may have little to no effect. Still, itās something, and I feel itās important to show support of some kind. You never know what it could lead to. But regardless, seeing Ogres on the Horde side of that character creation dream is a dream worth marching for. Even if it may take years to see.
Iāll keep at it as best as I can. 
Dream big, Ogre fans!

Both Ogres and Saurok would be great races to play as, though I have to admit that I hope we get Ogres first.

Itās very possible we could get them first. Especially with Dracthyr coming out soon. Itās hard to know what direction the game goes expansion-wise in the future, of course. But anything is possible!
Iām fine with either order myself, as long as we hopefully see them both become playable Horde races someday.

I saw a post the other day that the new Tuskarr model has all the movements the players do. Itād be cool if they were implemented as playable.
4 Likes
There are a lot of rumors of Tuskarr becoming a possible playable race at some point during Dragonflight. Especially since there are a number of features of the Tuskarr in Dragonflight, including animations, their own totem, and so on. I think there were some similarities between that and some other races that became playable, like Vulpera I think.
Iāve seen some support for Tuskarr off and on since I first started playing WoW shortly after BC came out, so it isnāt something that would come completely out of nowhere. I assume itās possible that they would become neutral if they did become playable.
Iām for it, myself, and I know itād make some people happy. Assuming they were a neutral race, Iād likely go with a male Survival Hunter Tuskarr on the Horde. When Dragonflight becomes available, their associated rep will likely be my main focus to work on just in case, alongside any new Furbolg reps since one was sorta found, but Iām not sure if itāll be available on release or not. At any rate, Iām for playable Tuskarr, but weāll see if they have any interest in the Horde and/or Alliance when we meet with them, I guess. 
Also, speaking of totems, Ogre Shamans would need to have their own totem. I think NPC Ogre Shamans just use a generic totem that isnāt specific to them since other NPC races use those totems also, but it is something I need to think about. Unfortunately, Iām not that great with designs, so if anyone more creative has any ideas on Ogre totems, please share!
Dream big, Ogre fans!

I do wonder what female ogres would look like. I know back during Cataclysm that was a hurdle from making them playable instead of goblins.
