Rytlock’s Critter Rampage playable inside GW2
I think the reason they did it outside is because there is less work to develop it inside. Web games are pretty easy, but converting a game like this inside an MMo is some work ^^

From what I remember, the trading post is actually a highly specialized web browser, rather than specifically being part of the game (which is why they can update it on the fly without bringing down the game). It’s… possible that it could be used to run this minigame as well. But given that the TP browser is specialized, it may not have any support for the code the minigame’s written in.
The game’s also got scripting to hijack the default web browser and open a webpage for the /wiki command; it might be possible to script an object in the game to open Rytlock’s Critter Rampage in the player’s default web browser. Not exactly playing it within the game itself, but making it possible to access it from within GW2 would mean a lot more people would get to see it; not everybody checks the website.
Yes, but it uses IE so unless IE11 comes out not likely. Will probably happen sometime in future though.
The trading post uses Awesomium to display webpages in game. Awesomium is basically Chrome. It cannot however render WebGL, which the game uses, so it’s not possible to run it inside GW2. I already tried by hijacking the trading post (side note, it’s possible to mod the TP you see in game, adding in many of the features people request).
The /wiki command opens your default web browser. If they really wanted to, they could add a link in game to open it. If you were using IE, you’d just see the “get firefox/chrome” message. As a joke however, I doubt they would bother. The most they would do is put it on the launcher, which they did.
an npc with a link to open the game in you web browser would be a cool easter egg though
It’s a fun flash game. But a in gave version for the SAB need to be better.
Make the maps darker and more like this
