From what I understand, Ed Greenwood’s campaign never advanced into the Time of Troubles. So does he have his own time-line or just doesn’t advance the years? I know some DMs don’t care about the passing of years and just run. That’s fine, but I can’t run without a count!

The PCs really "live in" the world: many friendships, businesses, etc. They're BUSY. So the in-world timeline + their levels advance at a snail's pace. The Knights are now average 9th level, we're in the early 1360s DR, and we vote on RSEs: they said no to the ToT. #realmslore

So do you toss in another event(s) or are things pretty quiet as stories are on a more personal level?

Oh, no, there's a constant cavalcade of "current clack" news from around the world: border skirmishes between petty barons (Chessenta, the Border Kingdoms), trade disputes, and the Zhents and Red Wizards and others trying to topple and replace local rulers. The Realms is alive.

One of my favorite things you do @TheEdVerse is the “current clack” and latest news. It brings to life so much of Faerun and provides a nigh-endless source of adventure kick-offs.

The original Current Clack is at the end of one of the two books in the Old Grey Box. Later Current Clacks appear at the end of some of my Elminster's Everwinking Eye columns in Polyhedron Newszine (RPGA). I gave out annual Current Clack handouts at TSR-era GenCons. #realmslore
