I'm curious, what are you wanting from a standalone client that's not already available with Prism or Fluid or Flash Player?

I think it should stay a browser game, its simple and you don't have to download anything(and there's not a lot of simple browser games like Grid12 & RotMG). but it will probably get its own client if it goes on steam.

On steam, rotmg has an .exe that uses flash and is hurribly laggy. I don't really know how it works, but it opens an swf. |

Steam RotMG isn't a flash emulator. It's Flash. The difference is the “container”. Flash running inside Chrome acts differently than Flash running inside Firefox or IE, and the Steam version of RotMG uses Flash running inside AIR, which has different performance characteristics than browsers. And Flash running in Chrome Mac is different than Flash running in Chrome Windows, etc. The Flash Projector is yet another container. Every container behaves differently now, and they used to all be the same, or at least they used to be much closer in performance. Chrome also has "Pepper" which is a different type of container than "NPAPI", and you see things like RotMG forums recommending people disabling the Pepper container because it's worse for RotMG than NPAPI. Really frustrating for game developers.  |

Basically, the other crap is included in your flash projector, the better the performance is going to be. Simple as that. It means flash games on Steam are going to score pretty badly, but not worse than some people's browsers with a gazillion plugins and toolbars covering half of the viewport. In the end, the best performance will always be a standalone projector.
On a side note, Pepper is actually terrible for just about anything, not limited to rotmg or flash games in general.

That should be "The less other crap..."
Sometimes the lack of an edit button while being logged out annoys me. Only sometimes.
