Abstract: This research paper uses Boellstorff’s book Coming of Age in Second Life (2008) and other relevant scholarship in order to facilitate an understanding of, and by extension deal with, the issues involved in conducting ethnographic research on virtual worlds. The argument that Boellstorff and many other scholars make, broadly speaking, is that people’s identities and forms of behavior is to some extent modified in virtual worlds (Boellstorff, 2008).
