Can MMORPG games be run from an external hard drive?
I have a laptop which I run WoW on, but it takes up too much space. I have an external hard drive with the capacity to hold it, but I'm not sure if those games can be run off an external hard drive.

It can. Your computer will treat the external device like an internal drive as long as it's on.
Those things seem to be poorly cooled and have short lifespans, so I wouldn't keep anything on it that it would kill you to lose. If you use WoW interface add-ons, back them up to a USB thumbdrive, or to a place on your internal hard disk.
External drives for home users are probably slower than internal ones in general, but that is a guess on my part. Most users will not notice the difference.
