Wednesday, June 8, is World IPv6 Day, a day when companies and individuals around the world will be working to test their IPv6 support. Blizzard is getting involved, and so can you!

Beginning on June 8, players on the below realms will be able to connect to the game using IPv6. This isn?t a straightforward task and ? while not extremely difficult ? does involve research to ensure each component of your internet connection supports IPv6, as well as editing a game file with a text editor. While we?d love to have everyone participate, we don?t recommend taking part unless you?re already comfortable with technical aspects of your computer hardware, software, and World of Warcraft. If you aren?t comfortable tackling the task, or run into a snag while trying, don?t worry, we?ll get plenty of testing and you have our thanks for just making yourself more aware of IPv6.

If you?d like to know how to get started, or would like more information on what it?s all about, check out our IPv6 page and FAQ here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&tag=ipv6day

The realms that will support IPv6 on June 8 are:

It doesn't like the "copy paste" of certain fonts and it does it's own thing.

IPv6 is the next-generation protocol for driving the Internet.

IPv4, which has long been used for these identifiers, consists of four individual octets (e.g. 192.168.0.1 or 255.255.255.255). There are only so many combinations possible in this format -- and while that number is roughly 4.2 billion, the world has run out of IPv4 addresses. While there are workarounds and various ways to continue to work with the existing protocol, IPv6 provides a much better long-term solution, as it expands IPs to a much larger number (340 undecillion possible combinations).

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

It's been interesting to see today how many companies thought they were ready today, but are not.
