You're not going to be able to use a remote desktop client to play a game, remote desktop works because 95% of what's displayed in Windows is either text, or known windows widgets that can be referred to without actually having to send a graphical image.

In a game it would have to send the entire screen image over and over.. which is technically possible but requires either huge bandwidth or great compression or a combination.

But logmein isn't going to let you play an MMO remotely.
