The FREE-TO-PLAY term (F2P abbreviated), literally free to play and applied to an online game, indicates a type of video game for free use (on the other hand of Pay to Play for Games at paid access). The F2P games often use the principle of micropayments within a virtual shop to make profitability and viabilize. They are actually free with purchasing options. In the field of video games, many games are free, this is the case for most free video games. However, the concept of Free-To-Play has really grown as a business model as with online games, including massively multiplayer online role games (MMORPG in English). The initial economic model of massively multiplayer online role games was that of the subscription: there is a monthly payment. But in 2001 in Korea, games appeared as Maple Story whose software could be freely downloaded and that it was possible to use without subscription. This model has subsequently popularized, especially through Second Life and massively multiplayer games of Korean origin like Flyff, Archlord, Twelve Sky 2, etc. Free online games are funded either by advertising or by a virtual goods purchase system (objects or currency in particular). In addition, Pay to Play and Free-To-Play business models are not mutually exclusive. The same game can be offered both Pay to Play and Free-To-Play version. This is the case of Second Life that also offers a subscription version. Some online games are Free-To-Play in their alpha and beta versions and then become paid in the operating phase.
