As a Roblox developer, when I am trying to share an event link it comes out like this:
https://ro.blox.com/Ebh5?pid=share&is_retargeting=true&af_dp=roblox%3A%2F%2Fnavigation%2Fevent_details%3Feventid%3D2471464817011720496&af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.roblox.com%2Fevents%2F2471464817011720496
Even though the normal link from the webpage looks like this:
https://www.roblox.com/events/2471464817011720496
I even had a player say this in my server when I attempted to share the event…
PLEASE
Where are you getting this event link? The event link for my game is normal: https://www.roblox.com/events/398532940551422163.
There is a share button next to the join event button which gives you that link.
Why would Roblox ever make a link like that?
It either sketches people out who you are trying to share with, or it is normalizing people to trust domains that don’t look exactly like the Roblox domain.
It’s a lose-lose.
I don’t get why Roblox still hasn’t made an alternative to the ro.blox.com link. It looks extremely sketchy to people who aren’t familiar with how Roblox’s share links work.
For context, ro.blox.com share links are specifically used for when you want to create a link that will work on mobile for people who don’t have the Roblox app installed.

I believe that the events page is the only place remaining with this URL. Any other link like games already got changed to this: https://www.roblox.com/share?code=277205de1511474989fb16bacfa48e4c&type=ExperienceDetails&stamp=1746014752709 it seems like
Heres how a item URL look like: https://www.roblox.com/share?code=1babbfe02de45949818f7e05100f22b3&type=AvatarItemDetails
It is a clear share link and shouldn’t cause any confusion. They should just update the event URL to a share link like this and it should be good enough
