I understand perhaps it is safer or maybe they cannot handle more, but I wish it was at least 10k considering they could maintain no lag. I remember there were already over 13k people online on Nostalrius PvP (which did not make the game-play quite joyful since it caused lag once it went over 12k), and now with all the hype I am sure more people would want to play and we all know an important factor that made Nostalrius so great was the population.
Caps arent gonna be 5k. That was a rumor floated around about the pve realm being capped at 5k. Suzerain said thats a very low number and the cap for the pve will be higher than that. Which definitely means the caps on the other two will be higher.

I would assume the pve cap will be like 6-8k and the pvp realms will probably cap out around 10-12k max. I remember when the pop would get over 12k thats when the hardcore lag would begin. Im fine with a 10k or 12k cap. They should be able to handle up to 12k considering they have the nost core.
Kronos shot themselves in the foot by making a 2nd server and capping both servers at 5k. I remember 4k people in queue, and eventually both realms died because of this (and ddos). K1 horde side had 133 on this morning, K2 had 483 horde on at same time. Thats dead to me.
