Point rewards are all meant to be an example dont take it to heart... same goes for the rest of the numbers, its the concept of in game activities with reward factor which should be looked into
Make 20 mugs for 100 points
Make 20 kills for 100 points
Do 20 suicides for 100 points
Make 20 forum posts for 100 points
Do 20 crimes for 100 points
etc etc... drives activity up since now you can earn points as a new player or a veteran player
with more activity, more people will be inclined to spend money, for this game you don't even need to advertise as everyone who has played text based games has heard of it, just need tweaks to keep it going for another 10 years

Aside from the point rewards being on the high side, you are already rewarded for those activities with money and/or points (aside from getting rewarded for suicides). There are 144 opportunities to COMPETE for activity based points each day. If you are suggesting that there should be more opportunities for points, understand that the value of points and/or money is always relative. If you implement a system that over-rewards players with points for completing menial tasks, you run the risk of devaluing points. In that case, there is no purpose in spending money.

For points here $200USD for 200,000 points is already pretty cheap for a game in my opinion... by this token with this suggestion there is no risk of devaluing points. You could do so much with 200,000 points
but in order to get more ppl playing this game, by doing these menial tasks... easy stuff!! everyone/anybody can play and will make even veteran players be logged in longer to do said easy tasks for points. These 144 opportunities now are GREAT! but issue is that you need to wait 1 hour to be rewarded, and human nature is all about "fast money" and "instant gratification"
The people who are too lazy to click and earn points will only have 1 way to catch up which is to spend money to do so and they will...
