A lot of reading. Reminds me a bit of myself when I was younger.
The reality is this is just a pipe dream.
Everybody has this dream. And everybody has their "perfect game".
If I were you, I'd start extremely small, unless you're already an established professional game developer.
For example, for fun I'm programming in allegro and working on some basic stuff to make some (hopefully someday) simple games. Believe it or not, but even something as elementary as Tetris or Pong requires a lot of time and skill, especially if you want it to be polished. It's always ten times harder (or more) than it seems.
Things like work and school are far, far more important than any of this. So I'd warn you to focus on those things unless you like to waste time or can afford to. It really requires superhuman resources AND superhuman intellect.
I guarantee you that unless you already are a professional game developer with years of school and work experience behind you that you don't have a chance in hell or heaven to accomplish your dream. It's just blowing smoke.
Again, things are always ten to a thousand times harder than they seem. Don't be a fool. It's like chasing a mirage in the desert or a lone seductive siren who's only goal is to destroy your life force. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.
I just logged off Wurm Online, btw. Haha. Good game, I guess. I like hardship in games. I like it tough. Any game that's harsh is generally a minority. Such is life, eh? Difficult to find these kinds of games. Most gamers like leniency. Not me.
I say that because your game idea seems "harsh". Much harsher than WOW. For it to work, you'll have to put in place a lot of controls and restrictions so players don't come to you complaining about it. They will.
Not that it matters. I think your idea is just an idea. Ideas are cheap.
And... this is why I'm so amazed with Rogean and this p1999 community. It required a lot of work and cooperation for this to exist. I just cannot help but admire all of them. Extraordinary. I mean that too.

I don't know how to develop and I have no aspiration to develop anything, it's not a dream to develop this game... just an idea of the kind of stuff I'd like to see.
I demand a good sandbox MMO from a developer with tons of resources and talent.
