Membership to access all worlds and post messages on the website (like this). Or to get crowns and pay for worlds and chapters 1 by 1.

I have recently been using membership and am currently in Marleybone at level 55.

If you play P101 a lot it's more cost effective then spending crowns as you can speed through some parts of the game really fast, it all depends on the speed you play

I always recommend a subscription - because:

1) As you make friends, you can port to them wherever and not hit a paywall.

2) Increased pack space is LOVELY, especially if you have crowns to buy a few packs with.

3) Resetting Companion training for gold - this is very helpful if you want to try out different builds for them as they level up.

I'm glad that KI gives us the option of doing either. Many MMOs require that you get a membership to play/progress in their games.
Membership has some very nice benefits, but when you buy a zone, that zone is yours, a year from now, two years from now, it doesn't matter; meanwhile your membership friends are stuck in SI when their membership runs out.
It's up to you just how you want to spend that money, both options are equally good.

If it were me, I would stick with the membership just for the freedom to go where you want, when you want and reserve any crowns you may buy solely for items from the crown shop (or you know, whatever else you want to do with them). Plus, as you already mentioned, you get the right to post on the message boards!

Si Signore! You cannot experience the full awesomeness of the game without a membership.

I feel like it depends on what your schedule looks like. I used to run with a membership but as I got busier with school and other real life responsibilities it seemed like a waste of money so I switched to buying crowns if I felt like questing. A bonus to crowns is the areas you buy with them stay unlocked on your account forever, and it's less of a "race against time" to quest since you don't have a time frame before it runs out. If I had more time to play games I'd definitely go back to a membership since it comes with some nice other goodies too, like increased backpack space, free PvP, companion resets for gold, and a larger friends list.

You can still post on the boards without a membership if you purchase crowns ( cards or on-line ) as I should know, .

A purchase of crowns does unlock access to the message boards for a month, regardless the message boards should be unlocked once you have made a purchase at least once
