Keywords not processing...

Clicking on a keyword and typing in a keyword should be the same. There should not be a delay with either. However, sometimes there is a delay because you are experiencing connection issues or because the player who is the "master" of a scene is having connection issues. (The master of a scene handles some extra scene processes. If the original master leaves, a new master is selected and that can also cause a small delay issue.)

Also, the first time you collect loot in a session there is usually an extra delay. So if you are collecting gold or an item from an NPC during the conversation, and you haven't collected any item or looted any creature yet this session, you will have a big delay before the gold or item is given to you.

I don't know why the keywords didn't gray out after you got the correct responses. If someone else has a similar experience and has suggestions for what could be the issue, please chime in!
