They all go F2P at some point. No exceptions.

Considering SWTOR is the fastest growing MMO ever beating WoW so far I doubt it. I think it currently has over 2 million subscribers which is quite good.
Rughugger:
It's uncertain when SW might go F2P status. DC Universe went F2P in under a year. Always possible that they will make the move within the same time. If anything, I'd keep a close eye on the developer's blogs, forums, and main websites. You will usually know around 3-6 months before they make the change. Might be prudent to wait. The game is bound to still have a lot of bugs that haven't been addressed since beta. Wait a month at least to play and see at that point if it's worth it from other players.
However, if you're a hardcore fan, Go for it. You'll love the game regardless of what people will say about it. I had STO since beta access and continue to love how they keep a good ear to the fans on what content to add or what kinds of bugs to fix. That's why I'm a major supporter of the game. They listen to the people who pay their salary on how to improve the game. It'd be awesome if SWtOR turns out the same way.

i play it. the game is amazing!
its not a good idea to wait for mmos to go free. much less big titles like this by name brand developers.
they only do that if they arent getting subscribers, and they are extremely healthy right now.
