I'll play on red if the Priest of Order allows me to turn in the book of order and turn off PvP.

This ... kinda: I only want to be able to turn the book in temporarily though.
The problem with red is that you'll be XPing, and some asshole will come along and kill you. That, very simply, is not fun, and I'm sure it's a huge part of why people try the server and leave. We're playing a game, and the point of playing a game is to have fun.
PvP is fun when you ready to participate in it, but currently on Red you have no choice: you have to participate 100% of the time. It doesn't matter that you wanted to try and get your toon to level 5 tonight: if some twinked asshole decides he wants to kill you and make you do a corpse run, you're getting killed and making a corpse run tonight ... instead of having fun playing Everquest. So that's why I don't play on Red: I want to have a say in whether I'm going to get to play the game when I log on, and on Red I don't get that say, the twink does.
If I could turn off PvP to go XPing, and then turn it on when I wanted to fight other players, that would be wonderful. It's almost as if I wish there were certain "battle ground" zones where you could go to fight, and then continue to play the game as normal outside of them. But no MMOG has ever done anything like that and been successful (certainly not the most successful MMOG of all time) ...
