Neat RPG Idea

This idea just sort of came to me while i was spacing out on bnet, so i decided to post it here. The biggest thing about this RPG that makes it different is the way the player can develop his or her character. characters can pick up weapons and equip them by clicking on the appropriate item. Depending on what weapon the character uses the most, the character will begin to specialize in a certain field. The fields will be monk (uses staffs) Sniper (uses bows and arrows) knight (uses swords) and wizard (uses magic). The more levels a character gains with a certain weapon, the more skillful he becomes with that weapon and his class develops (It will take a few triggers to do this, but i figured it out already. Also, I plan to "borrow" the 100 levels system used in "The Best RPG")
Anyway, on to the story. The story is set in some fantasy world where a berbarian leader has newly set up a kingdom. He proceeds to torture and kill the natives of the land that he has settled. You play as the heir to the throne of this kingdom, who disagrees with his father's killing opf the natives, and flees to life with them.
As the prince, whose name is Zorbin, you must gather support for the native tribe by journeying to distant lands to impress powerful beings (usually by killing stuff). This eventually builds to a climactic battle between the prince and his corrupt father.
Throughout the game you will be able to recruit other heroes to help you in your quests, and the same system for determining the characters specialty applies to them. You can aquire a hero who originally is a fighter, and turn him into a wizard if that suits your tastes.
Basically i am laying this idea out here so someone can take it and use it for themselves. I would do it myself but I do not have very much time. I can help a little. I am very good with triggers. Only one thing i ask. If you are going to use this idea tell me so in this thread first. Also post andy comments or suggestions about my ideas here.

well stereohead, I want to participate in making it, but since im short on time, I want to enlist the help of a few people so that I can still have a life while developing the RPG. But yes, I plan to help make it. To be more clear, the kind of help i require is:
A modeler, a skinner and a terrain artist. It would be nice to have multiple people in each category, as well as a back up triggerer to help me out. I can also do a little terraining, but I am not good at modeling or skinning. Apply for positions through this thread, for now. :) also, you can email me at [email protected].
Oh, and by the way, spectre did you mean that my story had been done before or my game engine? Because i assure you that both were thought up by me with no outside influences (except a really awesome game called dungeon siege influenced the engine) But if its the story then ill fix it. If its the engine then oh well, someone else got the idea first (maybe from dungeon siege, who knows?)

I can do the terrain and possibly modeling. But I could only send you 3DS files because I have a mac and can't run all this hacker software.

Hacker software? If it was consittered hacking, Blizz would shut us down. Dont call it "Hacker Software"

oh really? cool. Someone came up with the idea before me. What an awesome coincidence! Oh well, so its not as original as i thought. What RPG was it used in? tell me so i can check it out and see if mine is any different. I think it would be awefully strange if they are exactly alike. Anyway, the test version of the engine should be out soon (one week maximum, but i think it will be much less) and you all can see for yourself.
