Quote AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2005—NCsoft(r) Corporation (KSE: 036570.KS), the world's leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announces the beginning of its North American pre-order campaign for Auto Assault(tm). Pre-order boxes will begin to appear on store shelves this week at retail outlets throughout the United States and Canada. Customers who pre-order Auto Assault will receive a special in-game weapon only available in the pre-sale boxes, plus a loot bonus. In addition, the pre-order CD contains art, screens, wallpapers, and music tracks. Customers who purchase this special edition pre-order box and register the product will also be eligible to participate in beta testing events and given a head start over other players before the commercial launch of the product. Auto Assault, developed by NetDevil(r), is the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) vehicular combat game, combining the best elements of action games with the most favored qualities of role-playing games. Featuring high-speed vehicular combat and spectacularly destructible environments, Auto Assault redefines expectations of the online role-playing genre. The fastest, most destructive MMO ever, Auto Assault delivers adrenaline-fueled horsepower and mind-blowing firepower as customized bikes, cars, trucks and semis blaze a trail over a post-apocalyptic land. More information about Auto Assault can be found at http://www.autoassault.com.

Seems to be working for them, no reason to change it now.

Nope, but you will be required to purchase Lineage 2.

Nope, but you will be required to purchase Lineage 2. I subjected myself to the closed beta, isn't that enough for you?!
