Items with astronomically long names

Title says it all. Why are these even in the game. Why can't their names be cut down to size. For instance, instead of "ring of Descending Darkness (Str+4)(Dex+3)(Con+3)(Wis-1)(Pow-1)(speed +4)(resist magic +30)(Attuned: Creation)" why can't it just be "Ring of Descending Darkness". To me it just doesn't make sense, and there are a large amount of items in the game like this. The item names need to stay consistent.

I've noticed that "ring of War" (Which should have "Ring" capitalized) doesn't have the stats next to the name, but it does when you right click on it. There has to be a way to make the long named items just like this. If it is because of the mudlib, I can understand this, but I've seen new items come out that have never existed before without the super long name at the end of what the items is.

TL;DR: Fix long ass names for items, it is unnecessary. Also, stay constitant with item names. "ring of War" should be "Ring of War". "white star wizard hat" doesn't have a single capital. Rename it "White Star Wizard Hat".

These may seem petty to you guys, but lots of small issues together make a big issue. On top of updates for GK, the game should be refined as well.
