No, levelling difficulty will be the same. It could be an interesting feature to add, but it might also be hard to balance. We had a similar idea where prestige point would make players earn ribbon (kinda like medals), with the next ribbon demanding gradually more PP. But at first, we need to check how players adapt to a simple system before maybe complexifying it.

Everybody will start with all skill levels set to 0, because the new database table won't have any data to start with. However, this is only a matter of a couple of hours before your characters maxes out. Remember the skill levels system has been originally designed around the Campaign mode, which is 3 maps only! It is obviously not easy to get all levels in only 3 maps, but it is indeed possible. Most people will reach max levels in a few evenings at most. Also, if you guys want to try it out, the official test server has been running the prestige feature for a couple of weeks. We're polishing minor details before delivering a new snapshot to TM. Disadvantage is that you'll play mostly against boring bots there.
