Means, its two seperate games. You wont get cash rolled over, but you will get a refund if they shut down the game.
I cannot, for the life of me, imagine why SOE would leave Planetside servers up after Planetside 2. Practically everyone I know in PS right now will be playing PS2. I cannot even fathom that it would be profitable - even if there's a small minority who say "fuck that game" or they're like this guy I know who still has dial-up, less than 1gb of CPU speed on his computer, and still plays Ultima Online, it can't possibly be profitable.

Seems simple enough and would open up names a fair bit.
I'm sure anything could be coded - but considering that they aren't wasting time or money or game-data space on coding in vehicle-boarding animations, I don't know that they would devote resources to this. I'm not an SOE dev so I couldn't say.
