Yeah it's free, but quite honestly I don't think it's worth playing if you're not gonna subscribe. You're just nerfed way too much and you'll be grinding forever. There's a fair amount of features you don't get access too as well.
I'd say give it a go and do the first 10 levels free to play to see if you like it (the first 10 are basically just tutorial levels), then if you do, subscribe.
There's a 12x XP boost they're doing at the minute that runs out in October, which essentially lets you blitz through the story and level up quickly. A lot of people say you miss out on content by doing this but there's only a few questlines on select planets that are actually worth experiencing IMO. Each class gets their own story to play through so it's quite good in that respect, and that's the most interesting aspect.
Ofcourse, by levelling up quickly you'll undergear but there's guides and tips on how to deal with that, essentially you just save up 'commendations' til you reach max level and then use them to buy the best mods/gear. Just means you'll probably be undergeared whilst you're levelling up.
But meh. I've been trying to find people who actually wanted to make a guild but I don't know many people who play. It's quite good I think, it certainly has the Bioware storytelling that I like. I didn't buy into the whole MMO aspect of it as I've always wanted a KotOR 3, but it's decent and worth the time you put into it I guess.
