in EVE Online
I am thinking of trying Eve. Can anyone tell me if there is any good PVE or raids?

Get a buddy invite from one of the posters here for an extended trial.
Do the tutorials and glance over this page for a quick overview of the various ships and their strengths.
You can often get great help in the rookie help channel, but one of the best ways to pick up on the game and get into various activities fast is to join a corp. Check out some of the current player-run educational corps in EVE.
Alays remember there's no such thing as training the wrong skill, since you can always train something else if you change where you want to go with your character. Take everything with a grain of salt, and don't be afraid to lose a ship... that's what they're there for.
Have fun!
In PvE/Raid content, there's mission running and the Incursions (raid-like). If you're looking to do group content, then definitely get into a corp... PUGs are death, and not at the hands of the expected enemy.

That's actually some great advice, as you've got teamwork, exploration, and craziness all together in an activity that new and old players alike can enjoy. Here's a guide to Everything Wormhole.

Unfortunatly the free trial doesnt give you time to experience much, but unless you wish to stay in a limited amount of space you cant really do PvE unmolested, the game is built around PvP and people will force it upon you eventually.
To get alot accomplished you need to join a corporation, which can then be engaged in war and will by some pain in the butt corp or another, thus allowing them to attack you anywhere they wish. Even if you dont and do just spend time in safe sec space there are tons of gankers who have rediculous amounts of SP and money and outfit cheap ships with which to suicide grief people with just for the tears.
Unfortunatly as great as EVE is, its not a game for those who just enjoy PVE, I've tried it many times and have tons of battle cruisers and battleships and still it doesnt work out just trying to do Wormhole stuff or Incursians, Corps will war you, your wormholes will get invaded, people will gank you, and you'll run into Gate campers who leave you with no chance to do anything but to die when your just trying to travel.
In the end you have to enjoy PvP in some sense to really like EVE, after a while you'll realize the game is just a credit chase and one you have tons of credits and ships and mods, theres nothing left to do in the game world but PvP and if you dont enjoy that its just dull.

One does not try EVE out. EVE tries you out!
Most dont make the cut.
'nuff said.
You said the purest true about that game hahahah
You can enjoy pve... im doing it... maybe in a future i will go pvp but for the moment im ok in a miner's guild having fun, learning and meeting nice people
yes. it does have pve like raid stuff..ill list them
1. Incursions. this is more like a 10 man raid...but its more like a grinding/exp party
2. Level 4/5 missions - Level 4s are mostly 1-3 man pve events. Level 5s are i believe 4-7 (dont know never did them)
3. Complexes - These are basically the closets thing you get to raiding..you go in and kill stuff etc then get super good drops at end
4 Epic Arc Missions - Special missions that take forever to complete with big rewards at end (put to mind a long chain quest)
Like raiding...most of the stuff i mentioned is for end game people. Some epic arcs you can do early on but most activites are for characters that been playing a while. if u find a group they might let you in just for kicks...otherwise its kinda like wow elite like attitude..dont have right gear (skills) cant come
When was the last time they added an epic arc?
