Yes, clearly, MUDs like Achaea, Puzzle Pirates, Habbo Hotel, Second Life, Ultima Online, Project Entropia, and so on are "on the fringes" when compared to mainstream titans like 4 Dimensions or other random DIKUs with few players.

There seems to be a lack of understanding on copyright on your end. Information is not copyrightable. Ideas are not copyrightable. Specific expressions of those ideas are. A site that verbatim takes a bunch of paragraphs from your game may be infringing. A site just giving solutions to quests is not.

You also might want to clean up the infringing IP from your own game before you go attacking others for allegedly infringing.
