Use BUGITEM to report a problem with an item.

This will issue an email to play.net's bug tracking database.  Be as detailed as possible, describing what you were doing, the behavior you expected, and the behavior you experienced.  Preferably you should be in the same room you were in when the bug occurred, holding the same equipment, and wearing the same gear, as this information will be included in the bug report.  DO NOT ISSUE BUG REPORTS FOR GAME CRASHES OR LAG PROBLEMS.  Do not use this mechanism to make suggestions or feature requests.  Those should be posted to the forums.  Use the BUGITEM command to report problems with items.

Example bug report: BUG TYPO;Typo in Room Description;In the third sentence in this room's daytime description, the word cobblestone is misspelled.
