Will we need to wait 20 years to see female Ogres models in WoW?
A little late in posting this, but the TWW Pre-Patch officially launches on July 23rd:
This is mostly stuff like the Warband feature being implemented, which Iām pretty excited for. The event with memories and big baddies you have to beat up begins on July 30th, which is a week from tomorrow.
Speaking of which, Iāll be checking on the MU Stonemaul Clan when that event starts on July 30th and helping to report on any findings. Really not expecting very much, seeing as the MU Stonemaul Clan home is still shown to be in ruins, but itās still worth checking out.
Also, the jokes and flirts for Earthen have been shown off in the following Wowhead article, with both text and video links in the article below:
Whenever they are available, Iāll be taking a look at the Horde and Alliance embassies to see how they look with a new banner placed in there. Iām sure there would still be room for more Allied Race banners, of course!
Anyway, Iām going to dream of having my Ogre character as part of my warband. I think if Horde Ogres ever become playable, Iāll have him as one of the characters on the character selection screen.

You know when the day comes, I hope Blizzard cites or at least aludes to this thread.

As fun of an idea as that is, I donāt expect any acknowledgement of our work in any megathread and honestly, Iām not looking for any either.
I recall that Blizzard has stepped away from references to people IRL in the game for various reasons, so I donāt really expect that to change much. Even then, weāve seen three race request megathreads get their wishes granted (Vulpera, MechaGnomes, Dark Rangersā¦kinda) and I donāt recall any acknowledgements to their respective megathreads as best as I can remember. If anything, youād think the Vulpera megathread mightāve gotten something, given how much work the Vulpera Hype Caravan did and with the Vulpera megathread being one of the biggest megathreads.
But as Iāve said, I donāt need acknowledgement from Blizzard or fame of any kind. I do what I do because I want certain races to become playable, which would be reward enough for me. And if we get those races playable, I take no claim of saying I had any part in that. Iād just be concerned with reporting information on those playable races when official info was released.
Besides, it isnāt just me running the show, especially when it comes to playable Horde Ogres. Lots of Ogre fans have been at it since the game launched and there were two Ogre megathreads before this one, so Iām definitely not the only one here.
So I just keep my eye on the prize and do what I can to help support playable Horde Ogres and other races I want playable. Just being able to have certain races playable on their preferred factions is enough of a reward for me.

So thinking on that racial idea of throwing a boulder, I got a funny image in my head.
Imagine, if you will, a raid comprised of primarily Ogres against whatever big bad of the expansion is. They get into place without aggroing the raid boss and then proceed to pelt them with giant boulders!
Obviously they wouldnāt stun or do much damage to raid bosses in actual gameplay, but the idea of a raid boss just getting pelted with endless boulders being launched by Ogres who are using them as target practice sounds like a fun time. Maybe we couldāve stopped Zovaal or Fryakk sooner with a boulder to the face. 
Although come to think of it, having a boulder tossing mini game also sounds fun. Not sure how players who arenāt Ogres would do it, but Iām sure it would make for a fun quest and even a world quest.
Anyway, just a fun thought I wanted to share.

So I finished Chronicle Volume 4 and sadly the Horde Ogre tribes are not mentioned. Since it was a board overview, and the Horde ogre clans havenāt done much it makes senseā¦ though I still find it disappointing that nothing was even seeded.

I wasnāt really expecting much to begin with, given that from MoP, the only thing involving the MU Stonemaul Clan was Orādac, the Brackenwall Village emissary who unfortunately was a daily quest jobber at best.
Iām also assuming that the AU Stonemaul Clan wasnāt mentioned at all with the AU Magāhar Orcs joining in BfA? Wouldnāt surprise me, since they seem forgotten and have more or less disappeared into fat air. Really glaring omission to not see the Horde Ogre clans involved at all during BfA. Especially with the new clan joining during a particularly active war going on andā¦nothing coming from that happening.
Still annoyed at the missed opportunities in BfA, given that Horde Ogres and Alliance Furbolg couldāve easily be written in BfA. Who knows what the Horde Ogre clans were up to during BfA and since then, and I doubt Iāll ever stop complaining about it, but I digress.
Still doesnāt stop me from hoping to be able to do this in-game to the bid bads of future expansions as my Ogre character someday:
Never forget the Horde Ogre clans!

You are correct. It just focused on the AU Magāhar, while revealing Warchief Garrosh Hellscream died nobly in battle against the Lightbound, as the Overlord Geyaārah and the others escaped to Azeroth.
I agree with you. It truly was a missed opportunity. There were plenty of moments to have the Stonemaul show up. They could have been among Eitriggās forces in the Arathi Warfront, they could have been included in the faction assaults, or even feature among Varokās forces. After all the Horde revolutionaries were based within Dustwallow Marsh.
Meanwhile they could have easily included Alliance Furbolgs in the Darkshore Warfront actively aiding the Alliance against the Horde, or had been be apart of the faction assaults.

If we got playable Horde Ogres during BfA, I feel like the assault on Teldrassil in the beginning wouldāve been the best time to do it while having Alliance Furbolgs also becoming playable.
The MU Stonemaul Clan was on the same continent and did owe the Horde several big favors, and assuming Dire Maul was temporarily empty depending on when the Traveler book series took place, that wouldāve freed up the MU Stonemaul Clan to help in a pretty big assault. Even if Mages didnāt port them, the MU Stonemaul Clan couldāve easily mobilized to help out in the area.
The Furbolg, in the meantime, get in the crossfire and become displaced, which would give them a reason to assist the Night Elves and then go with them after the event and get involved in the war since the Horde wouldāve taken over their territory and they wouldnāt have any allies around.
And with a huge war, it wouldāve made sense for the MU Stonemaul Clan to have gotten full membership and sent off to fight in the war. Moreso with Rexxar getting involved, since he could help rally a group of them as an attack team with the MU Stonemaul Clan leader.
Unfortunately, BfA just became the poster child for missed opportunities. Several races that couldāve joined respective factions during it got shoved to the wayside, got the short end of the stick, or just flat out ignored during it. (Ogres, Saurok, Sethrak, Sanālayn, Kelfin, Saberon, Botani, Furbolg, Ankoan, etc). But thatās something Iām sure I could type up as yet another thesis paper.
Regardless, I still think Horde Ogres and Alliance Furbolg are a pretty great combination that has a lot of potential to be tied into a storyline together. And of course Iāll keep hoping to see them playable someday.

It definitely would have, especially at the end when Saurfang and his revolutionaries are preparing to attack Orgrimmar. They are literally in Dustwallow Marsh, Rexxar is with Saurfang. The opportunity to have the Stonemaul march with them against Sylvanas was right there. That we didnāt get it in-game, is criminal.

In realizing that there are certain races I want to go the allied race route, (ex: Forest Trolls with a Forest Troll tribe reunion quest chain) I realized that I would prefer the Stonemaul Ogres as a core race. Like Blizzard just announcing them and us getting to play an Ogre from the get go, them starting at a revamped Dustwallow Marsh in a rebuilt Stonemaul Village or even the retaking of Stonemaul being their starting zone, like the Dracthyr have their awakening on the Forbidden Reach as theirs.
If Blizzard did go the allied race route, I would be fine with that since I would get my Ogre either way, but if I had the choiceā¦ I want that core route. Which of course makes me wonder, does anyone else have a preference?

Weāll get that dumb half night elf/half troll elf reskin before we get the noble ogre.

That might happen. There are hints that the Harronir could become playable, but itās unclear as to what side they could join. I have a lowkey theory that we could get Alliance Harronir and Horde Humanoid Nerubians.
Either way, as long as we get Ogres, I donāt mind what other races become playable. Though the Earthen are rather difficult because I canāt help but see them as a Dwarf variant and it bothers me that we are getting an Alliance race variant when Horde classic races remain unplayable.
