And yet, as you have pointed out many times, is consideration being given? If it's being given in WoW's TOS, there's nothing stopping the OP from simply doing the same thing.
Furthermore the OP can't even prove that the contributors read the application requirements, let alone agreed to them.
Just like packaged software, where you don't have to agree to or read the license, but you're bound by it once you open the software package anyway.
That is not a valid claim over my copyright.
Well, in your opinion at least. The specific implementation of copyright law is really a bit of a grey area, which is why one wants to get an opinion on a specific case from a subject matter expert if it actually matters much.
You could just get them to grant you the nonexlusive rights to use their work.
A number of MMORPGs do this, including Runescape. I believe you can also simply have them grant you the exclusive rights as well if you don't wish them to be able to use the area in another MUD.
