You have two choices: leave the current world open, and add a new world as an expansion of sorts, or just delete the current world and put everyone in a new map. For the former, you'll end up just having an empty new gmap, as no one will migrate. For the latter, you'll get a bunch of pissed off players.
Updates like this tend to never work on Graal servers, players just get too damn attached to their surroundings.

After reading an article somewhere, this is the case with most online games. No matter what you do, there's always a group of people that complain. You just have to go with what you think is good, really. If you're skilled in game design, chances are most players will adapt and come to like new additions, whilst this change may also bring in newer players.
To be quite honest though, you could change anything on Era, as long as it adheres to the modern theme with gangs and what not, and the players would still stay because it's the only fully developed modern server and, obviously, the only classic-list modern server.
