Publishing 2D clothing on Roblox now requires an active Premium 1000 or 2200 subscription to sell items or keep them on sale. This means that 2D clothing from inactive creators like 1blox, Tophthetomboy, etc. will soon go off-sale.


Roblox will require users to have an active 1000 or 2200 Premium subscription to publish 2D clothing. By March 20th, if the item uploader does not have Premium, Roblox will put the item off-sale and delist the item from the marketplace.
