It’s their trade mark… weather registered or not.

No, it’s not.

I think you have some confusion between trademarks and copyright.

The term “castle world” would not be covered by copyright. It has never been claimed (let alone registered) as a trademark until today, when you’ve tried to use it as a big stick to scare people.

I agree wholly on the maps and artworks. Property of their creators (unless assigned or released) for sure - individually though, not collectively.

But castle world (the name, NOT the site) is not protected by copyright, and it is not a trade mark.
