All members have a personal Message Board at their home page.  This allows other users to leave messages for you, similar to the dry-erase marker boards that are so common today.  "Hey!  I came to visit you!  Where were you?  : )"   Oftentimes, people will leave messages that start with, "I came over here to your house, but you were not home..."  Once in a while, people will leave virtual gifts for each other for visiting their home, such as a small plate of figs, or some flowers, or perhaps some candy.  Usually, in Ancient Worlds, it is customary to write at least the briefest of messages to those people who leave you a message or visit, thanking them for visiting your home.  Also, you might want to click on their name and visit their own home as well.

You will know when you have a message when on your return to your own home page, you see that the parchment on the front page is "flapping." Click on the flapping parchment to read your messages.  The message engine also contains a calendar, so that you can look back and read messages from days or even weeks ago.
