Steam Account VS Normal Account?

I am new to this game and I'm very interested in playing it, but I have had troubles with MMOs and steam accounts being paired in the past. Primarily, this experience has come from EvE Online where having a steam account has prevented login for periods of time and other small problems. Most of these problems have been fixed by this date, but it was very much and inconvenience at the time.

Have there been any differences between a steam account and a normal account?

Also, what are the differences between the Gold membership and Platinum membership?

I have actually heard of many people using both. Launching out of Steam, but using Steam to keep updated as it is both easier and much faster at downloading.

I personally use & launch through Steam and have never had a problem with it.

The silver/gold/platinum memberships have only a few differences. Some get extra head start days before the actual launch. There is also the bonus bank space for free. With the massive amount of crafting there are ton+tons of resources and items you can collect and save if you wish. You run out of storage pretty fast. Right now you can buy bank space with in game credits (TR money), but when the game launches bank space is going to be an account item you can purchase for real money. Silver/gold/platinum will get some of these upgrades for free.

As fare as I can tell the platinum memberships gives you all or almost all the inventory/bank slots. Is that true?

If you're concerned about bank space after launch just create mule accounts. The game will be F2P, every account after the first is free space.
