WAR is still an MMO though, and there are core concepts it hasn't shaken off.

You control one of 20 careers (classes), split reasonably evenly between the two realms (sides) of Order and Destruction. Choosing a side locks whichever server you join to that side, to stop people from playing cross-realm spy games with each other.

The realm of Order is made up of the Empire, high elf and dwarf armies, and the realm of Destruction holds the Chaos Warhost, dark elf House and the Greenskin Waaagh!. The latter is the only non-racial army - it's made up of orcs and goblins - and will probably end up being flooded by roleplaying types who insist on typing everything like the bovver boy orcs they're playing as. Careers are army specific (see 'Career progression'), split between the archetypes of tanking, healing, ranged damage and up-close melee damage. There's some that overlap, such as the Bright Wizard and the Sorcerer, to keep the lore-monkeys happy without blocking WAR players from their favourite role.
