That certainly wasn't part of the business plan for the first year.
I think players would pay a subscription, if they weren't playing the same shite over and over, but I'm not complaining if an interesting title comes out free to play.

That's one way to look at it. Another way would be to say that EA wants to stop hemorrhaging players and is waking up to the fact that the old subscription-based model for online role-playing games isn't really cutting the mustard anymore.

I definately liked the game, just didn't have time for it because I was graduating and moving and had no money so I had to drop it. I'm def gonna check it out again since that new patch with the grp finder came out.

I'm happy to see this. I like the game but the non class specific areas got boring having to run them to try a new class.

Got my vanguard takn to lvl 46 and realized i did not care. Even with my guild from SWG it was boring.
I wont play even if it's free.

To combat the player exodus, EA also announced that it will turn Star Wars: The Old Republic into a free-to-play title beginning in November. The option will give players access to all eight character class storylines up to level 50, though some features and content will be restricted. Players can unlock some of that content by purchasing 'Cartel Coins', the game's new virtual currency.
Who wants a half arse game for free when it already blows.
I wont be coming back for that.

Haven't played it, but I thought it was well-received at the beginning. What went wrong?

Somewhat nonexistant endgame content

This is what went wrong and I am going to put it in every day life usage for you.
Wake up in the morning stretch and go to under lock the door.
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
Exit your room and go into the bathroom
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
Exit Bathroom
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
Go back into your bed room to get changed
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
Go back out your bed room
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
Head to your front door and open it.
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
Get down the drive way say hello to your neighbors. Open your car door.
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
Pull up your GPS and choose your location. You get there instantly, you exit your car.
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
You walk towards the building entrance from the parking lot and open the door.
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
You enter the building go to the elevator and enter it.
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
You arrive on your floor and exist the elevator
(loading screen depending on how fast your computer or net is)
You are now on your floor, feel free to get into your cubicle to get to work.
And that was just one of the problems.

Not to mention the comical, identical, nondescript "orbital stations" at which you have to dock in order to travel between planets once you have a personal ship.
Watching Solid Snake smoke a cigarette for 20 minutes prior to each act of Metal Gear Solid 4 was more tolerable than this game's constant need to slow you down and bore you into playing a better game.
