An interesting idea and I might sign up to it, but

1. While you call it a MUD there is no Multi-User aspect in your description. It sounds like an interactive website which can be built on a simpler platform than a MUD. Still, I think that collaborative user interactions may enhance the gameplay and improve players’ communication skills.
2. Assigning any in-game credits for unverifiable real-world tasks seems problematic. Although most players might report their real-world achievements in good faith, even a few crooks may dishearten the whole community.

Funny, creating such MUD may be as much a learning activity for me as for the players.
