| − | Ogres, orcs and Draenei are the three original races from outland. "The Draenei are one of the three primary races native to Draenor (the others being the Orcs and the Ogres)." (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draenei#Draenei ) |

||
| − | 4. The horde has what appears to be a minimal relationship with the ogres. There's one ogre settlement in Dustwallow which is loyal to the horde, but ogres are largely scattered throughout the game, splintered into many, MANY tribes, not unlike the trolls. |
||
| + | [[Category:Grizzly Hills NPCs]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Blood elves want get to Outland. Who's to say the ogres (or a specific TRIBE of ogres) does not have similar goals? If they can write the BEs to the horde, despite the forest trolls and UD killing them and laying siege to their old homeland for generations, I'm quite certain a falling-out between these ogres and the horde is certainly possible. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 5. Their capital would be in Kalimdor, thus balancing the starting locations for all races (as I do believe this will need to remain balanced). There's a HUGE section of land directly to the west of Stonetalon Peak which could quite easily house a starting zone. |
||
| − | |||
| − | http://www.worldofwar.net/cartography/worldmap/kalimdorcont.php |
||
| − | |||
| − | This is an accurate map of the existing landmass in the WoW world. Look directly to the LEFT of Stonetalon Peak: notice the landmass which actually exists there? It's more than large enough for a starting zone with room to spare for a capital. Plus, this feeds directly into STM, a level 15-27 area, perfect for the newbie ogres to head in the direction of their NE allies. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This would be an ideal place for the location of a starting zone. Also, IMAGINE what would happen if, on the day the expansion was released, both new races started on one continent as 50% of the server population rolled a new BE or ogre on EK. That's right. Server crash. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 6. Blood elves are a former ally of the alliance. Ogres are a former ally of the horde. I say "former" because we've not seen much in the way of ogre presence in the horde's favor and what little there is could EASILY be explained by the fact that different tribes of ogres exist, JUST like the seemingly endless troll tribes. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 7. Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogres_%28Warcraft%29 |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ogres are one of the few races that are not indigenous to Azeroth. They were actually brought from the world of Draenor during the First War a generation ago. The ogres of today are not the stupid, lumbering brutes they once seemed to be. In fact, many of the ogre lords have rallied the remnants of their people that were scattered when the horde fell. Though their plans are unknown, there is no doubt that these powerful, deceptively intelligent warriors will gather their forces once more. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 8. I hate to say it, but Bliz is LAZY! It would be far easier to use the already completed male ogre model, create the female ogre, and call it a day. Pandaren, "pure" Draenei, or any other unseen race would need to be made from scratch. Their idea for a new race for the horde was redesigned elves/humans (the male Blood Elf was based from the NE model, as the female Blood Elf was based from the Human model: watching the animations shows this clear as day). The reason the Alliance race hasn't been announced is because they are making 3D Models from scratch, supposedly, delaying the time the Alliance race is announced. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 9. The benefit of the horde getting an "alliance-like" race is that players on the alliance growing bored with their faction might be compelled to try the other side, thus extending the life of their subscription and the overall $$$ made by Bliz. |
||
| − | |||
| − | From a business perspective, it would be in Bliz best interest to give the horde an alliance like race and give the alliance a horde like race because you want players on BOTH sides to consider switching over and effectively playing the entire game all over again. To this end, the ogres would be a PERFECT choice. |

| − | 10. New ogres on Outland: http://www.goblinworkshop.com/gallery/albums/bcday/IMG_2623.jpg |
||
| − | |||
| − | 11. Many people argue that ogres are too tall to be a playable race, that doors would have to be resized, or the ogre itself would have to be very small. This argument is should be ignored however, because the ogres present at the start of the game are tauren sized. Here are two views of an ogre in Mulgore fighting a tauren. Note their similar size. An ogre of this size would have no problem getting around an Alliance city. |

| − | I think it's a tribe of ogres who want to make an appeal to the alliance, and I think they could do this by rescuing the king of Stormwind from his prison on Alcaz Isle. |
