    Yeah yeah, not technically an MMO but Gabe from Penny Arcade plays League of Legends on one. link

    If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.

    maybe one with point and click movement... but i dont think any as they would be expecting some kind of mosue input..

     

    Check on the windows app store for any designed for it i guess.

    Its a powerful tablet, power is not of concern, im guessing its more controls. maybe Diablo 3 since its point and click lol.  Overwolf is working on making mmo playables

    Order and chaos is a WoW clone. It costs $6.99... http://orderchaosonline.com/

    Heroes of order and chaos is similar to LoL. It's free to play

    Windows 8 tablets that will run GW2

    http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/and-the-verdict-of-guild-wars-2-on-windows-8-is/

    For those of you looking to purchase one of the upcoming x86-based Windows 8 tablets such as the Microsoft Surface Pro or the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro, we can confirm that Guild Wars 2 will be playable on those devices. 

    Our machine with the Intel HD Graphics integrated GPU averaged frame rates in the mid-20′s on low settings at 1280×720, and the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in both of those devices is significantly more powerful.  For those looking at other x86 tablets, we would suggest staying away from ones with Intel Atom processors and opt for ones with at least a Pentium G Series or a Core i3 and up.

    Ok, when you say "tablet", does that mean it's running Windows 8 Pro or just RT? I suspect that none of these suggestions will run on the RT (metro) version of Windows 8, though I haven't verified all of them.

    I know the Unreal Engine 3 has just been made available for Windows RT, but I don't know of any MMO games native to Windows RT.  So, if you have Windows 8 Pro and a powerful tablet, you should be able to run many of the games suggested already.  However, they're not going to support swipe and multi-touch.

    Technically, any MMO can be played on a tablet :P   I currently play GW2 and TSW on my tablet when not at home on my Acer Iconia A200.

    agree - important distinction

    Vendetta Online runs on both Windows 8 and Windows RT (Android, too).  What's more; all platforms are fed into the same, contiguous galaxy, with no instances aside from the starting zone.  The verge has a write-up with a video impression here:
