P2P = Pay to play
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The term is also used as slang to refer to Internet services that require that users pay to use them. Usually, it refers to MMORPGs, where players must pay to maintain a playing account, as is the case with EverQuest, Warhammer Online, Aion: The Tower of Eternity, or World of Warcraft. This is in contrast to free-to-play games. The game RuneScape features both free accounts for no money or pay-to-play accounts, with a much larger list of features.
The term may also refer to something like the online game Habbo Hotel, where there are games inside the game, which you may "pay to play" to join into a game whilst it is in progress.
In the game Second Life, many virtual arcades use Moo Town Games' player rewards system called Pay For Play to actually pay players of virtual arcade games for playing.

F2P = Free to play
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
refers to any video game that has the option of allowing its players to play without paying. The model was first popularly used in early massively multiplayer online games(MMO) targeted towards casual gamers, before finding wider adoption among games released by major video game publishers to combat video game piracy and high system requirements. Since games using the concept are available at no cost to players, they use other means to gather revenue, such as charging money for certain in-game items or integrating advertisements into the game.
