This will end up being an overwhelming "No" just because the majority of the games players are(were - most likely with this update) higher levels that have invested thousands of hours already. Most of them would probably die inside rather than reset all of their levels back to 1 again, just to get them back to 99 in 2 to 3 years time. I'm one of those people.
I see how this would be a great update, I've thought long and hard about it. But at the end of the day, Runescape isn't gaining new players anyway. I highly doubt this will bring new players, and I highly doubt it will keep low-medium level players in the game.
I like the idea of the system, I really do. But it's horribly unrealistic in the state that it's in - if it was to be improved and changed around (such as the new HS not being the "relevant" one until YEARS later, I would change my stance. But for now, I don't much like the idea of you simply saying "try again" when I've already spent over 600 days played on this game.
Cbf grinding another 3 years just to get to 2 Prestige when we already know the people that can no-life will just do it again for their high ranks. This won't open up new people to the HS really, the same people will just do what they do best. It's unhealthy competition.
TLDR: I voted no.
