Need help expanding/changing ideas

[Aschy]

OK its an ORPG just like any other one but I think that is just a waste of my time cause its been dunnnnn, I'm really looking for any original ideas for an ORPG. But I'm looking for simple not for really crazy intricate systems that are fun.

ORPG Ideas - looking for expansion of these or complete over hauls.

Systems

1)Leveling System - No Exp - Tome Based Leveling - 10 Levels
2)Professions - 3 unique or 1 unique and 2 very important(Crafting/Chemistry)
3)Class System - 3 Ability Trees per class - 5 abilities per tree
4)Ability System - Attribute based abilities - Ability to upgrade abilities based on level - Example at level 6 you can have 3 upgraded, at level 10 you can have 5
5)Dungeons - Tuned to levels - 2-5 man can't decide on the max # of players in 1 dungeon.
6)Random Events - Random Things to kill, or to do, nothing that would kill an afk player
7)Player System - Perhaps a solo mode for offline play with dungeons will be unaviliable

Class Ideas

I have been thinking about two options currently I have chosen the first. 1) Normal every day hero's(warrior, mage, assassin) with somewhat different abilities then normal. 2) Make completely unique hero's and totally change the way that bosses are fought, example less focus on healing or tanking

1) Classes so far:
Warrior - Tanking/DPS- Equipped with Rage
Mage - DPS/Healing - Uses Mana
Assassin - DPS - Energy like Rogue in wow & combo points

2) Unique Idea's so far:
Awesome tank class - takes damage for long periods of time, able to deal medium amounts of damage
Awesome damage class - deals large amounts of damage, able to take damage for short periods of time
All-rounded class - able to be a tank or damage dealer

If unique classes are to be chosen, healing would most likely be done to anyone not being attacked.

Profession Idea's

1) Chemistry - For making items to help with tanking/healing/damage dealing
2) Crafting - For making items for the hero to equip
3) Spell Binding - For making scrolls to cast spells

Misc Ideas

1)Other Dungeon Maps Later on - Dungeons - These would be meant for 10 - 12 players because the actual map wont have dungeons for 10 - 12 people.
2)PvP Maps

Ill try and add some originality to it as I think of it, but even if you guys just want to suggest class types or anything I don't care it doesn't have to be a system.

so do you need help?

Well you see the above is a very idea's that have been done over and over and over.. Unless one of them hasn't been done

I'm merely looking at ways to improve or completely change ORPG's as we know them. The only real two things I want to happen is the Tome Based Leveling part and being able to fight bosses, its hard to explain really what I'm looking for even adding in elements from other genres like survivals, etc but even the smallest contribution I can run with.

However if someone comes out with a really complex idea I will probably try and simplify it greatly in the editor.


But like I said it doesn't have to be the game-play of the ORPG, you can suggest anything about it you want.. I don't even really have a theme at all so they can be completely random the only thing is I would like to avoid Elemental specific Classes/ Demon specific Classes. This doesn't mean I don't want people to be these types of races, I just want to avoid a class like Fire Lord, or Pit Lord (Because a Night Elf Pit Lord might be weird!)
