Stats system in Warhammer Online?

I have one question about Warhammer Online. A very small question. What is the Character Stats system? I read somewhere about this, but I could not understand it completely. I figured out that it can be important thing, but that is all. I am a complete newbie in the game, so I do not yet understand all the things about Warhammer Online.

My friend, Character Stats is “short” term for Character Statistics systems in Warhammer Online. In addition, they are very important. Those stats systems are separated in eight groups: strength, willpower, toughness, wounds, initiative, intelligence, weapon skill and ballistic skill. Because this is maybe old information, these stats are maybe changed. These statistics are telling you how is your favorite character progressing in the game. Each of these statistics is upgraded to your liking, so you can create your character in the best way.
