Sigh, another MMO hits the dust. Auto Assault was released just last April, but it won’t see it’s second birthday, or even come close. It will be shut down on August 31, with the final month being free. If you pre-paid a bunch of game time, you will be refunded for any past July. It’s too bad, AA was one of the coolest MMO’s I’ve played. It’s different, but once you were in, you’d realize just how good of a game it really was.
The game will close at midnight on August 31. No reason was given as to why the game is being shut down, but it was hardly a success story. In Auto Assault’s first full quarter of availability, NCsoft’s financial report showed that the game–along with South Korean tennis game Smash Star–accounted for less than one-third of 1 percent of the company’s sales.
