Why don't support IPv6 for the game

Post by mitra76 »

Exist many tools which give freely a fixed ipv6 address to people (example gogo6); this will resolve all the ports problems many players found. So why don't add the support to Ipv6 protocol to game? Is possible?

I really don't know much about that. We just use basic udp with the server machine acting as a proxy.
