Are there any MMORPG games that support (or will soon support) Oculus Rift?

  I seem to remember Crowfall having VR headset compatibility as one of the stretch goals in their kickstarter.

  Cool I have a Crowfall account so I can hope. Was also hoping there was something I could play now.

  This will not happen any time soon. 
  
  VR software development is in very early stages where there are no best practices and nearly everything is experimental.
  
  If we're talking head tracking for view control with controller or keyboard and mouse for controls, I could see that maybe happening. But if we're talking room wide implementation, which is now the standard, absolutely not. Even motorsport simulators don't have it right yet and those type of products are perfect for VR without any bullshit gimmicks like teleportation movement.
  

  I live to go faster...or die trying.

  Yes, there are best practices.
  
  There is also at least one decade+ running MMORPG that has announced Rift support.  I can't personally speak to what it's like in Rift.
  
  In Gear VR, it is epic:

  I was referring to low level best practices, not high level implementation requirements.
