I doubt Rift will go f2p(fully) or offer a f2p model like SWTOR anytime soon. They done made over 100mil and they are about to release their first expansion.

I think Guild Wars 2 will play an important part in Rift's future. As for SWTOR, there's no secret - too much ambition and development costs and not enough return.
