Even though WAR: Age of Reckoning is still in the Beta testing stage of the game, the select players that have been able to experience what the game is like enjoy what they are able to do, see, and hear. Of course, opinions will differ widely based on players' preferences and what type of games they like to play, but there's on doubt that WAR will be a huge MMORPG to hit the big scene when it debuts hopefully in 2008 as many people and online computer players are hoping for. But until then, the Beta stage will have to suffice and many players are already psyched about everything in the game, all the way from the battles that are able to be waged right down to the very characters that are able to be chosen.

The Characters in WAR are a bit different from another online computer or other role-playing game. In WAR: Age of Reckoning, characters are chosen based on which team you would like to join. There are two major sides to the game, the Armies of Destruction and the Armies of Order. As you could easily guess, the Order team is the good team and the Destruction Army is the evil team. But don't worry because there will be plenty of character options for both teams to choose from.

Armies of Order

The Armies of Order that players are able to join are composed of good armies that are fighting on the side of good. There are several characters that players in WAR can choose from. They can choose to be a Dwarf, a High Elf, or even part of The Empire. By choosing one of these characters the player is also choosing his or her basic role in the battle and will have specific things to accomplish. Also, by choosing the characters of the Army of Order there will also be benefits to each character that the player will have to contend with. For example, if a Dwarf is chosen to be played then the player must know that one of the Dwarf's main goals is to protect his fellow-players, the other characters that are part of the Army of Order. Even though the Dwarf can engage in battle by him or herself, helping your fellow-soldiers is simply one goal that the Dwarves have while being a part of the Armies of Order.

Armies of Destruction

As with any basic game of good versus evil, WAR also offers the Army of Destruction to the players who want to test out their dark side. The Army of Destruction is the evil army that can be chosen by a player when he or she is choosing the character that they are going to be playing. As with the Armies of Order, choosing a character on the Army of Destruction Side also has good and bad points to it. For example, becoming a Greenskin in the Army of Destruction has at least one good benefit that can actually be used as a war tactic in battling. This war tactic is known as the Waaagh. The Waaagh is basically a group of Greenskins joining forces in battle to destroy everything in their field of vision and grasp. They are some of the most powerful players in the game if they use their might collectively, which is a major bonus for Greenskin characters in the game.

WAR has many other careers and characters that can be chosen for both Armies, but these are the basic benefits that players will be able to see when they decide on choosing between good and evil. WAR: Age of Reckoning offers plenty of good options for the Armies of Order as well as many beneficial options for the Armies of Destruction.
