I tried my hand at a bit of everything before I realised what was fun for me. What's fun for me may or may not be fun for you, so I recommend doing the same: explore your options. On the other hand, you've signed on for a PVP game, yet I don't see PVP offered in the list of things to do. Strange, since that's the core feature of the game. Anyway, don't forget to add that to your list of things to try, welcome to EVE, and good luck. Hit me up in game if you need isk and I'll see what I can steal for you.

Well that's my point in a roundabout sort of way.

Is PVP the only thing that's fun for the majority of players in this game?

I have no problem with that. I've always wanted to try something along the lines of smuggling/transporting goods or the such. But most people in rookie chat advised me it wasn't fun and to stay away from it.

EVE doesn't have boring gameplay, just boring people.

Missions are a possible exception to this.

Thanks for all the answers.

Then is hauling fun? Any recommended resources on hauling? Why was the general opinion on it as being "boring"?

Disclaimer: I like EVE. I've only been playing for a week or so now, but I think it's quite interesting.

I was attracted to EVE because of the sandbox nature of the game and that everyone kept saying "you can do anything!".

However, once I got into the game, I was notified by most players that while you can do "anything", a lot of it isn't very fun.

For example:

-- Mining. Recommended as a nice way to make ISK as a new player, but almost everyone I talk to in game finds it boring.

-- Hauling. Okay way to make ISK. Not very fun according to most players.

-- Crafting (or whatever it's called in EVE). Takes too long to train for a new player to make ISK.

-- PVE (ratting?). Not very good way to make ISK. Decent fun.


My question then is...what is fun for the majority of players? Again, I'm making the distinction between "fun for some" and "fun for most".

The original was better....

The original is ALWAYS better.

R¦¦e¦¦c¦¦o¦¦m¦¦m¦¦e¦¦n¦¦d¦¦e¦¦d¦¦ ¦¦a¦¦s¦¦ ¦¦a¦¦ ¦¦n¦¦i¦¦c¦¦e¦¦ ¦¦w¦¦a¦¦y¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦m¦¦a¦¦k¦¦e¦¦ ¦¦I¦¦S¦¦K¦¦ ¦¦a¦¦s¦¦ ¦¦a¦¦ ¦¦n¦¦e¦¦w¦¦ ¦¦p¦¦l¦¦a¦¦y¦¦e¦¦r¦¦,¦¦ ¦¦b¦¦u¦¦t¦¦ ¦¦a¦¦l¦¦m¦¦o¦¦s¦¦t¦¦ ¦¦e¦¦v¦¦e¦¦r¦¦y¦¦o¦¦n¦¦e¦¦ ¦¦I¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦a¦¦l¦¦k¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦i¦¦n¦¦ ¦¦g¦¦a¦¦m¦¦e¦¦ ¦¦f¦¦i¦¦n¦¦d¦¦s¦¦ ¦¦i¦¦t¦¦ ¦¦b¦¦o¦¦r¦¦i¦¦n¦¦g¦¦. You were lied to, it is not a good way of making isk.

-- Hauling. O¦¦k¦¦a¦¦y¦¦ ¦¦w¦¦a¦¦y¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦m¦¦a¦¦k¦¦e¦¦ ¦¦I¦¦S¦¦K¦¦.¦¦ ¦¦ ¦¦N¦¦o¦¦t¦¦ ¦¦v¦¦e¦¦r¦¦y¦¦ ¦¦f¦¦u¦¦n¦¦ ¦¦a¦¦c¦¦c¦¦o¦¦r¦¦d¦¦i¦¦n¦¦g¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦m¦¦o¦¦s¦¦t¦¦ ¦¦p¦¦l¦¦a¦¦y¦¦e¦¦r¦¦s¦¦. It can be very much fun but have to enjoy that kind of thing. It can be very good isk.

-- Crafting (or whatever it's called in EVE). T¦¦a¦¦k¦¦e¦¦s¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦l¦¦o¦¦n¦¦g¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦r¦¦a¦¦i¦¦n¦¦ ¦¦f¦¦o¦¦r¦¦ ¦¦a¦¦ ¦¦n¦¦e¦¦w¦¦ ¦¦p¦¦l¦¦a¦¦y¦¦e¦¦r¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦m¦¦a¦¦k¦¦e¦¦ ¦¦I¦¦S¦¦K¦¦. You can get into it right away but like any business you have to start at the bottom and work at it.

-- PVE (ratting?). N¦¦o¦¦t¦¦ ¦¦v¦¦e¦¦r¦¦y¦¦ ¦¦g¦¦o¦¦o¦¦d¦¦ ¦¦w¦¦a¦¦y¦¦ ¦¦t¦¦o¦¦ ¦¦m¦¦a¦¦k¦¦e¦¦ ¦¦I¦¦S¦¦K¦¦.¦¦ ¦¦ ¦¦D¦¦e¦¦c¦¦e¦¦n¦¦t¦¦ ¦¦f¦¦u¦¦n¦¦. Very wrong. The vast bulk of people fund their pvp with high sec mission income. It is good isk and if you find it fun go do that.

Is PVP the only thing that's fun for the majority of players in this game?

the fun is in the hunting and killing of people

Literally telling other people what is fun. Worse than ******.

The OP did ask whats fun in this game, perhaps you're reading comprehension is "Worse than ******." Have fun... exploring and I'll have fun hunting and killing explorers.
