You have me up until the class system West, which I can see in an actual game but I'm uncertain as to how it would pan out in a roleplay. But maybe that's because I'm unimaginative..
How the class system is interpreted would be left open to the individual - if someone wants to abuse the bishops self-healing and buffing abilities to become a blood knight, then why not? There's also nothing against an archer knight who pewpew's magical swords, or a king who marches first into battle.
In keeping with the RPG spirit, I would like for the thread to have classes and roles. Seventy random powerless people dumped on the kingdoms shores won't help anybody - and tracking different variations of classes (because my class is different 'cause my bow shoots exploding rainbow cats) could be an eyesore. In keeping with that, I challenge you to come up with a reasonable class or sub-class who doesn't fit under those classes I provided.
In regards to things like levels and xp, I've learned this is where forum roleplays used to err. While I would like for them to exist, they'll likely only be a conversational topic or occasionally used for drama (ZOMG that boss is level 80 and we're only level 5!).
The game will also likely be on a grander scale than modern games, with an endless numbers of rare skills, items or effects one can obtain. If you can imagine it, it's probably a reward from some well-hidden sidequest or dungeon/raid.
... I really hope I haven't overcomplicated it.
