Not confirmed by Verant but it seems Gaming World has published an article
in the latest issue with the following wording:

"We've got the scoop on Verant's upcoming expansion to EVERQUEST, THE RUINS
OF KUNARK. The one thing that you verteran players have wanted to know is
what the new level cap will be.

Currently, players can advance to level 50; In KUNARK, that cap will be
raised to level 60. Each level increase will be much more difficult to
achieve than in the base game, however. Verant doesn't want characters
soloing dragons and walking around like gods among us mere mortals with our
level 18 druids. There will also be some special skills, spells, and even
titles for players who go past level 50."

***This was clipped from a news add, doesnt make it Verant's quotes.***
