http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/races/images/ogres/ogre-circle.jpgWorld of Warcraft today announced a new two headed ogre (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/races/two-headed-ogre.shtml) class, where different players control each head.By selecting the Two-headed Ogre race, you are selflessly choosing to share your existence in World of Warcraft with another player. That is, you are staking claim to one half of the Ogre whole. As a Two-headed Ogre, you will have control of one head and one arm at all times. Your other half will be controlled by a second player automatically and permanently paired with you upon character creation. Each player residing in the Ogre body will be free to choose his or her own character class at creation, so for example, it is possible to have a Two-headed Ogre who is half Mage and half Warrior. It is also possible to have two halves of the same character class, depending on the random pairing. Two-headed Ogres serve the Horde, and in keeping with the theme of their inherent duality, their starting zone will be located near the Crossroads, which resides in the Barrens region of Kalimdor. The classes available to Two-headed Ogres are: Mage, Warrior, Priest, Druid, and Warlock. Sharing a single body with another player can produce an mutually enlightening, symbiotic relationship or a constricting, insanely frustrating experience depending on the player you are randomly matched with. Good luck to you!Woot, and if you look hard enough they mention me on the page as well. :)

For example, if one particular Ogre's left head is named "Jonny" while the right head is named "Bob," the full name of the Two-headed Ogre and the name attached to communications with the outside world will be "JonnyBob."

I think I smell a lawsuit! Jonny...did you give them permission to use your name here? ;)

[JonnyG]

The offline head will automatically do the /snore emote into the [/body] channel periodically. Also, your Two-headed Ogre will walk with a limp, as if the whole side of the body controlled by the offline head is asleep.I love that. I wonder if they've been diagnosed with sleep-apnia(sp?)?

And yes, I'd better call Marc Jacobs and find out if I should sue.

I guess this mean you will always have someone to group with. Interesting idea to say the least!

[JonnyG]

Not only to group with. But you'll always have someone that you can PvP, PK, or grief. Woot! Shoot I might even consider that auto-snore function griefing. I get enough of that from the wifey.

[Mi Tes]

Nope, just the wrong date for anything a bit off and besides that ogre would take way too much sharing. ;) Anyway, I am sure the Mythica team did come up with much more cool and playable creatures. Wish we could have seen them all!!!!

Who is the more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?
