Auto Assault set to retire

Today the Auto Assault website posted the info that they are shutting down on August 31. I remember seeing the game at E3 many moons ago. While I loved the concept, the game didn't click for me. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to have a really cool MMORPG in an Autoduel like world so I'm sad to see Auto Assault fail as I'd like to see more games with that theme. With the shut down of the game, I hope that it doesn't turn off other developers in trying something different in the MMORPG realm.

NOTICE: Today NCsoft is announcing that it will be closing down service for Auto Assault at the end of the summer. The service will close at midnight on August 31, 2007. As of today, any player currently in the service with an active billed account will not be billed again. If players have previously purchased time via multi-month billing or time cards that extends their service past July 31, NCsoft will reconcile these accounts appropriately. There will be more announcements coming soon regarding the shut down of Auto Assault and its impact on current accounts
