I hesitate to push the discussion in a sideways direction but we could expand the current main world and protect the new expansion from lower ranks. Someone who knows world guard would have to say if this is (im)possible. Still one world but expanded with protected area. The expansion would be generated with the 1.8 or 1.9 new stuff.
A related world guard (im)possibility is to let new players roam the second world or guarded expansion but not change anything. They can see what they gain from ranking up but no grief.
Of the two options, I prefer a second world to expanding the existing one but there may be performance reasons to stick to one world.
