Updated Information on Paid Item Trading
Hi everyone! Yesterday's post was very vague, and I didn't have a lot of information myself on the policy change. So, I've taken the time to get more up-to-date and correct information on what this policy entails, who it impacts, and why it's implemented, so you're all updated on what's going on.
Roblox has received pressure from certain governments around the world to implement restrictions on how players interact with exclusively paid-for items. Essentially, they do not want players to be able to trade or receive items exclusively available through Robux or real-money purchases. This includes developer dragons, merch potions, and subscription potions.
As far as I'm aware, the only country that is supposed to be impacted by this change is Korea. But, more countries in the future may be added as their governments update laws regarding Paid Item Trading.
The team needed to restrict players in Korea from exchanging paid items in any way, or else Roblox would completely lock these players out of playing the game. We don't want that, so these changes were implemented last night.
If you are NOT in Korea and are being impacted by this change, please let me know, and I can look into a solution with the team.
