No IPv6 connectivity to LA data servers

[Petrøl-tichondrius]

For the last 2 months or so I have not been able to connect via IPv6 to any server on the LA data center.
It always connects to the “Home” (chat?) server with IPv6 but “World” always connects via IPv4.

However If I connect to any server on the Chicago data center it’ll connect via IPv6 for both “Home” and “World” without issue.

Now I have been in contact with the peering dept of my ISP for just over a week now and they can’t see any issues on their end.

I’m unable to locate any information online on what IPv6 addresses Blizzard uses on the LA data center (just ipv4 addresses) to do any further research.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have IPv6 enabled in-game and you’re still seeing an IPv6 Home connection, then that means the IPv6 World connection should work as long as it’s configured correctly on the server side.

There were changes to how world servers are hosted with Shadowlands, so it’s possible that IPv6 is not working properly in every situation due to these changes. Hopefully that is something that our QA team and WoW engineers can take a look at and get cleared up.

I’d recommend reporting this over on the #support:bug-report forums or do a search there to see if anyone else has reported similar behavior. IPv6 is not used very widely so other reports may be sparse, but the more reports the better.
