If you are like most players that are excited about WAR and can't wait to play the game, you probably know all there is to know about WAR already. From the battle frontlines, which are commonly called the Zones, down to the characters that can be chosen from, like the Army of Order and the Destruction Army, many people all over the world have heard about WAR and are wondering what the game-play will be like.

The first thing that one must know about playing the game is that before playing there will be a crucial decision that each player must make. The decision lies within deciding whether you want to be for the Army of Order or the Army of Destruction. Even though the Armies of Order are fighting for good, sometimes it seems as though the Armies of Destruction has more benefits and power than the Armies of Order and followers of The Empire. Nevertheless, choosing your character is the first and foremost thing that a player will be responsible for when entering WAR: Age of Reckoning. Thankfully there are many resources that will help a beginning player out, like the official website of WAR at www.warhammeronline.com. This website describes all the aspects of the game and doesn’t fail to let players know what they'll be getting themselves into.

But if you are trying out the Beta stage then you are more than ready to get acquainted with the WAR system, choose a character, and start playing the game. In order to choose a character then you'll have to know what careers and options you'll be able to choose. For example, when creating a character for the Armies of Destruction then one will be able to choose to play a Dark Elf, Greenskin, or follower of the gods of Chaos. If you are going to choose to be in the Army of Order then a player will have the choice of being a High Elf, Dwarf, or part of The Empire. Each character has a benefit that goes along with it, but when choosing a character an online player will also be able to choose a career that his character will be able to play.

Examples of careers when choosing the Dwarf character includes being an Ironbreaker, Hammerer, Engineer, and Rune Priest. Each of these dwarf characters has unique roles that they should be careful to fulfill. The Ironbreaker is basically in charge of protecting his or her friends and making sure that they help out in battle. Even though they are perfect when they fight solo, the Ironbreaker can help their friendly players in battle. The Hammerer's role is to take on a battle and defeat the enemy with a swift blow. The Hammerer is able to hit their targets as hard as a rock against a house and successfully kill their opponents. The Rune Priest is an effective character for delivering magic to their friends that will actually enhance how effective they are in the battlefronts.

All of the careers that the characters can choose from provide not only a good storyline for the WAR game, but also provide an important role for each and every character that enters the game. WAR will be a huge development and debut for role-playing gamers everywhere when it officially releases in 2008.
