Is the subscription MMORPG business model dead?

So EA Bioware raised the white flag and will make Star Wars: The Old Republic Free2Play before it reaches its first birthday. The number of remaining MMORPGs with a pure monthly subscription business model is dwindling, although of course many Free2Play games offer monthly subscriptions as one option. And I noticed a certain trend: The less a game is like World of Warcraft, the more likely it is to remain on monthly subscriptions. The more a game plays like WoW, the faster it goes Free2Play.
