Playble games with high latency

WoW should be fine - my latency was seldom under 200ms when I used to play. Otherwise any of the clones - Rift for example has grown on me...

Also, I sometimes play BF3 on Polish servers and I usually have a latency of about 150-200ms. As long as the server doesn't kick you for higher than average latency, it is surprisingly playable. Very seldom have lag-related issues.
 
Basically anything that is heavy on client side prediction, this also includes almost all modern FPS with a few exceptions. The opposite to a client side prediction game would be Quake.
 
I play Bf3 and BF4 on the Xbox which only has EU servers (well the EU servers are our best bet for console), thats minimum 200ms pings. You can adapt I guess.
 
I've found the ArmA series play well with high latency. They're naturally slower-paced so you're not constantly getting into fights where the person who pulls the trigger first wins. I often play ArmA3 on international servers with over 200 latency and you barely even notice the latency.
 
League of Legends. It's about 200 ping for South Africans on euw and it's very playable and also very awesome :D
