"We considered ogres as a playable race for Cataclysm."

Your proof?

You have none, just as the other guy has no proof it is. Until it is introduced into the game, we have to assume it could be a bastion of the BElves, the HElves, and the Undead.

What you are proposing would be an asspull of century and would drain the little dignity this universe has down the lollore toilet.

I'm serious about Ogres though. If adding them to the game is so important, I really do think they'd offer more to the Alliance than to the Horde. After all, a race that used to be in the Alliance has switched sides, what would be wrong with Ogres pulling the same trick in reverse?

If I could upvote replies, I would upvote yours.

Is this like the worgen furry invasion all over again?

Anyway I always wondered what kind of person would have a desire to play as an... ogre. I'm not sure about other fictional universes, but in WoW's I don't quite get it. There seems to be some kind of vocal minority here that would like to do this, maybe one of you could tell me why? To me this seems like the 10 people that come into every thread and camaign for High Elves for the Alliance, when I'm pretty sure most of the player base would accuse Blizzard for being lazy with the alliance race for being just blood elves with blue eyes.

My comment was really more of a passive aggressive statement regarding the over sexualization of the female gender within the game. The WoW playerbase is predominantly male so the designers in turn design females with as much T&A showing as possible, often in the form of two piece bikinis and other scantily clad clothing options.

Not at all. WoW actually has way, way less sexualization of females than most other games in the genre (or any genre for that matter).

So here's what I did, I went to the WoW forums, and opened the armories of the first ten female toons I came across. Here they are.

One out of ten is scantily clad. That's ten-percent. That percentage will get much, much lower as the number of toons looked at gets higher.

Take your feminist bullshit elsewhere please.

The arakkoa are awesome, and you can get an item that'll turn you into one for a bit in skettes I think its called.

Yep, i know that item, i have been trying to get it for a while with my priest, i have it in one of my characters (my hunter)

I don't think furbolgs will become playable for the moment... why? cause they are also a bear-like race just like the pandarens, so Blizzard would prefer to release a race a little more unique

Furbolgs are to Pandaren what Night Elves are to Blood Elves (not completely but nearly). Furbolgs are more feral and savage and have a closer connection to nature, their classes can be :

Druid, Death Knight (compensation for lack of Pandaren DKs, furbolgs unlike Pandaren were present on Azeroth when the Scourge hit so It's possible that a number of them became Death Knights.), Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, Monk, Priest.

Yeah i know, but i'm just pointing out that is really unlikely that Blizz will have 2 races that look alike without having at least 1 expansion in the middle
