Unfortunately, still no playable Horde Ogres. A shame that we’ve waiting for so long, and continue to wait. Not to mention the opportunities that have gone by and not even an appearance of the Horde Ogres. Still, I keep hope that we’ll see them appear again eventually, preferably as a playable Horde race.
On another note, as most people likely have heard by now, Blizzconine information has been announced. It’s occurring on February 19th through the 20th, where it all will be free to watch this year. The day schedule is as follows, according to Wowhead:
"Day 1 will kick off at 2 p.m. PST on Friday, February 19, with an opening segment that includes a first look at some of the latest game content the development teams have been working on. Then for the next three-plus hours, you’ll have the option to tune in to one of the six different themed channels, so you can decide whether you want to sample a little bit of everything or dig deeper into the games you’re interested in most.
Day 2 will pick back up at 12 p.m. PST on Saturday, February 20, with multiple channels once again, until the fun wraps up at later that afternoon. Throughout this second day, we’ll be shining a spotlight on the global Blizzard community, including the winners and outstanding entries in the Community Showcase contests and exhibitions."
Much as I’m generally hopeful to see Horde Ogres make an appearance, unless we go back to Azeroth for some reason, I feel that the chances are going to be low. News will likely involve what is next in the Shadowlands, where the only potential Horde Ogre related thing I can see are the spirits of the dead Stonemaul Ogres from that one quest in Dustwallow Marsh that could help us.
If we did end up going back to Azeroth, there are two possibilities I can see with the Horde Ogres:
The first possibility is that the Stonemaul and Dunemaul are defending their respective territories from the undead, with the Dunemaul also helping Megs defend wherever she brought them.
The other possibility is that they’re overrun by the undead and may have retreated to either Thunder Bluff or Orgrimmar to help assist defending those areas.
We won’t really know how dire the situation is unless the story takes us back to Azeroth, but more than likely, we’ll still be in the Shadowlands continuing the story there. Still, I would like to know what all is going on back in the living world (of Warcraft!). We’ve barely see some of that in a scene or so in some of the covenant campaigns.
Guess we’ll see where the story takes us on the 19th to see what direction we’re going. As usual, if I happen to see anything of interest Ogre-related, I’ll be sure to report it here.
Dream big, Ogre fans!
