Issue
Including myself, there have been more than a few instances of players accidentally selecting the wrong Challenger World on character creation. Although this restriction was purposefully placed, it's happened more than a few times and is a common enough issue that warrants some attention. Players are not adequately warned through ingame UI that choosing a world is irreversible. Reading the patch notes should be optional and not at all mandatory for a smooth user experience.

Proposed Solution
I suggest that players that have accidentally chosen the wrong Challenger World should be allowed to participate in the other world after sending in a support ticket request. Assuming no benefits were reaped in the first world (i.e. everything was deleted) there's no abuse-related reason we shouldn't be able to play in the other Challenger server.

Of course, this problem is partially due to user error, so it's understandable for this to be a lower priority issue, but I'm sure any affected players would greatly appreciate help with this oversight. Thank you for your time and consideration.
