4 MMOs that I run, Guild Wars, The Sims Online (don't laugh), LotrO, and
EQ1 all correctly elevate Vista if they need to patch. So they do NOT
require manual elevation (Run as admin...).
Well that's not totally true, you have to patch the game once as an
admin so it can download the latest updater that is Vista compatible.
Except for Guild Wars, that game is so simplistic in it's design that
it's just simply the best MMO out there.

Really? Vanguard doesn't elevate correctly? When I ran it I never had to
run as admin on that one, it just does it when it needs to update. Odd.
FFXI I don't doubt that you have to do something special with that one.
Worst patching system EVER!
As for elevating, I simply go to the game EXE (in program files, like c:
\program files\sony\everquest\everquest.exe), change the properties so
the program runs as Admin then when you run the game from Games Explorer
it runs elevated.
