idea for video game.. is it possible...?

i have an idea for a video game, it could potentially be a big hit. but would it even be possible to do? here is my idea..

it will be a free rome game, it will probably be best to set it in the western times. think of a mix between red dead redemption, fallout, GTA, the sims and world of war craft.. . like WOW you make a charicter, level up, u can kill/ steal. everything is interactive and everything has consequences...

this is where my idea is different than most, remember the mlb game that offered 1million dollars to the first person who pitched a perfect game? well like that this will have one main goal. the creator of the game will hide 1 item (or more) in the large world of play.. every 2 weeks the players will get a hint to where the item(s) are.(u could get a entire year of clues and still not find it) your objective is to find it, and take it to a designated spot. first one there wins a set amount of money.. but the catch is when ever it is found a message to all players will be sent out letting everyone know the gamer tag of who found it.. and all the other players if they find you, can rob you or kill u and steal it.

only the person with the item knows where the end marker is to drop the item off. tat way no one can wait for u at the end.. to make it more challenging u get a set amount of lifes per day and if u kill someone the AI "police" will track u down.. so u need to use stealth against computer players and real players.

i also think it would be cool to have the game set where even if the console is off, ur player is still in the game (everyone could rent apts or own houses or be homless.. so u could potentially be robbed while ur not online).. but u can upgrade your safe house with security cameras to seee where the robbers went after leaving the house and gaurd dogs and stuff.

i want the map to be so big it could take a few days to go from one side of the map to the other. at any point u can hide the item anywhere, bury it or wat ever and come back later to get it. who ever gets to the end first wins the money.

thats the short version lol, do u think it would be to hard to create a game that is that big and interactive? wit realistic graphics? i think it could be the biggest game ever, wat do u all think

Update:

Yvette i did think of that but i want a truly massive interaction game. u just need to play enough to up grade your security and also u can hide/bury items where only u kno, unless someone gets really lucky..

and yes exactly its like one big game of capture the flag

    You shouldn't post your ideas like this, someone could take it and run with it.

    I think it sounds good though.

    But I don't like the idea about my character getting robbed while I'm offline, you would lose a lot of users that way. You have to cater to the casual gamer, because they will be a large part of your profits.

    I'm a casual gamer, I just don't have time to play as much as I would like, but I'm still paying for the game subscriptions and things. But if after a week of working and coming to the weekend where I want to relax and just play a game and have some fun, I don't want to log on and find my character has been robbed of everything, and I have to spend all weekend tracking people down to get my stuff back. And then next weekend doing it all again. I wouldn't pay for that.

    Epic..... lol take like 7 years to make though. ITs a cool Idea but you gotta remember there are map limits because of disc space. It would be pretty cool. But it would take a lot of time and a lot of designers to make in less than 5 years. Like you know how halo reach took so long? ya its hard to make so many models with good graphics. However I think it would be fin XD. GL try contacing blizzard or bethsada sounds like there alley.

    A game like that would probably take a lot of bandwidth to play, as for possible.. sure why not?

    would be cool I suppose, but wouldn't be easy to make, then what happens also after they bring the item to its destination. Anything after that? You gotta add side quests and all that too. and think of all that stuff before hand. But yeah wouldn't be easy to make.
