Extended Identity is the term for the extension of identity into many discrete separate selves, usually by means of virtual reality avatars. Platforms such as ActiveWorlds, Second Life, EverQuest, World of Warcraft, have shown that someone?s sense of self, of identity, can transfer to an alternative body, in an alternate world. The identity of one individual thus extends to these many selves, and is an issue likely to cause severe personal and legal challenges as technologies mature.
