Re: After update, weird item descriptions
Looks like someone may have forgotten a special character... Often when writing strings for a game, references like "U4440" so they can have the description look up the current value instead of having to change all associated strings each time it changes. If, for instance, the typist forgot a "#" symbol, per se, the renderer wouldn't interpret it as a reference and render it textually.

Short answer: It's probably a typo.

Re: After update, weird item descriptions
There was a small period of time where K club was appearing like this. Looks to be just an identifier issue. function shouldn't change.
