I beleive you can roll over a trial account to a full one.

What are the benifits to each server, besides local and timezones? (Pop of each clan, mature and fair players, active Admins or devs, ect...)
No difference really.

Can VS hovertanks go over water?
Yes.

Can any other tanks go over water?
Nope.

How is server stability?
Pretty good. I've not experienced a server crash in a while.

Is the infil suit still buggy? (Ive read of issues with people seeing you as you cloak and snipers picking you out at long ranges)
It's less now that it was. There are still some visual issues where it's possible to be seen at range. Very rare though.

Does the game tutorial work?
According to the last patch info, I think this is fixed now.

Does flying have joystick support and do they handle like aircraft or boats?
No joystick support, really. They handle like a simplified flight model. Not great, but not bad.

Is the game rather balanced?
Yeah. For the most part.

Does the game force teamwork? (Does a well planned assault beat a zerg attack)
No and sometimes. You can go solo still and get some things done. Well planned assaults and defenses CAN defeat a zerg, but a long lasting, large zerg can crush anyone.

Is 512 megs of ram enough to run PS? (DDR 3700 one sticK)
It's what I would consider the minimum. 1GB would be better.

How many charactors am I allowed to have per erver?
5

Does the game have a steep learning curve?
At the tactical level, it's quick to pick up. The strategic level is a bit steeper but nothing about Planetside is extremely complex.

Is there a third and first person view toggle?
Yes.
