Why are ogres not a playable race on the Horde in the game World of Warcraft?

Question

I remember ogres being my favorite unit back in warcraft 2 and i was anoyed to know that ogres were not a playable race.

Answer 1

Ogres in World of Warcraft are ethier Neutral or Evil, that's why there are so many quests to kill them. Making them a playable race would mess with WoW's whole story line.

Answer 2

I'd say it's probably due to their sheer size. The orges were a very large creature in the Warcraft World and making them a selectable character in the game would cause alot of problems.

The Ogre towers over even the tallest of Tauren.
