(as opposed to Second Life or OpenSim, where the worlds are 'places' and what people do there is massively variable and undefined. Trends I see indicate that the future of VR worlds will be more analogous to the real world in that most of your current categories will apply only to various PARTS of each 'world'. That is, future VR in general will be far more diffuse (less specific). The way to look at the VR future, in my opinion, will be as 'places', being analogous to real cultures, differing in their possibilities by the enforcement of 'laws' representing those culture's mores. Meaning that the study of future VR will be an using most likely using anthropological techniques and classifications.
