MMO Crunch posted a tribute article for the pre-mature death of Auto Assault:

In the end, the mass of MMO players just did not seem ready for an MMO like Auto Assault. It was completely off from the norm and back in 2006, nobody was really pining for change in the industry. Today, the landscape for MMOs is much different as many gamers are calling for new games with fresh ideas. Had Auto Assault been developed for today's market with today's technology it may have survived and actually become successful. Unfortunately, that's not the case and because it failed back then chances are we won't ever see another game of it's type. A sad, sad truth. . .

We couldn't agree more, it's was a tragedy to simply terminate so much potential so soon...
