Hi all. Basic and maybe stupid question here.

Is there a way (in-world or otherwise) to see a list of events - say, a list of events beginning within the next two hours, or a list of events occurring the next day?

In "search" it seems I have to know what I am looking for, but that's not very helpful when I'm just trying to get a sense of what there might be to do right now, or what there might be tomorrow that I want to plan ahead to attend.

I have tried searching for words like "lecture" "concert" "exhibition" and so on but what I would find really helpful would be a kind of community board, like listings in the newspaper, that would let me peruse a list of *everything* going on so I can see what things might jump out at me - things that maybe I wouldn't have thought of to search for.

inworld:

in search, open the events tab. don't put anything in the search bar, just click search... optional to have mature content or not.

it should list everything happening NOW, including treasure hunts! :D

Thanks, both of you - EXACTLY what I was looking for.

3ring: I had tried wildcard searching (like "*";) which did not work; I had not thought of leaving the search field BLANK. :)
