Auto Assault was an interesting experiment of a game, but ultimately failed (and did so quickly) because it did not address the key interests of most MMO players. The game tries to be a hybrid between a true MMO with quests and character development, on the one hand, and a driving game, on the other, and fails as a direct result of that. Most MMO players are not into car driving games (and do not want the 100% twitch-based game and repeptitive blowing up of things), and most car driving game players are not into MMOs (and want to play offline, not worry about character development and crafting, and not pay a fee to play). So the end result was an interesting idea and experiment, but in the end only serves to reinforce the realities that (1) in MMOs, fantasy is king, and veering outside that space is risky (even most sci-fi MMOs have failed, the notable exception being EVE Online, which has no meaningful competition in its own niche of space-based PvP game) and (2) twitch-game players do not like MMOs where they have to play a lot to advance characters and craft and so forth over the long haul, and pay a fee for the privilege to do so, and instead prefer fast-paced, action-based games that can be "beaten" relatively quickly over the course of a few weeks (or faster) and then mastered for a bit and on to the next game. Trying to marry these two ideas was interesting, but failed because of a gross misinterpretation of the MMO marketplace.
The servers are empty. There were less than 10,000 subscribers to this game at its peak a month or two after release. Don't bother to buy this.

As of August 31, 2007, the last server for Auto Assault has been shut down, and you will not be able to play this MMO at all.
It's a shame too, there was SO much potential there.
This online game is now shut down.

The Auto Assault servers shut down as of the end of August 2007. With no single-player capability, this game will no longer function.
