Among these we are going to discuss MMORPG. MMORPG is the role-playing style whereby every gamer has their own avatar/character inside the virtual world. Those gamers treat their ‘avatar’ as one of their ‘assets’, so this is how they are willing to pay for it.

During last time most of the online games were pay-to-play (P2P) whereas now most of them are free-to-play (F2P), the way they earns money also changing, for example, during last time game companies were earning from the ‘monthly subscription’. Whereas in F2P, there is no monthly subscription but players are tempted, or attracted by the unique or awesomeness of the in-game items which are optional, in which they are required to purchase point card (known as Mol Point) to obtain those unique items.
