The rank of Recruit acts as a trial period to allow potential members to decide if they fit into and are a good match for WAR.

Member:
The rank of Member is a very relaxed rank for those who are either fairly new to WAR, or have been in WAR for quite some time and just want to enjoy the gaming experience.
