you seemed to miss this party. they are not at 5000 they are limiting the log ins at an artificial cap to prevent duty find and other systems from crashing. its stated that the cap is raised in lowered as needed. So if 5000 people are the cap and they have a limit in place that is raised and lowered its safe to assume the limit they have is not at 5000. So when they upgrade the data center and other systems this artificial cap will be removed and more people will be able to log in to each server.
The whole part of that is - "When more than 5,000 characters log into a World at once, there is a higher risk of server crashes and login errors. The restoration of crashed servers is usually followed by a rush of players attempting to log back in, which, in turn, puts a strain on our lobby server, and can ultimately have an adverse affect on all of the Worlds.

To prevent this from happening, we felt that the safest course of action would be to limit logins."

5000 is the maximum any of the worlds can hold and were designed for. They are adding more worlds, not increasing capacity of current worlds. Login restrictions are to keep them at 5000, so they don't go over and crash the whole server. Nowhere has it been stated that this limit will be raised.

It seems it's you who is missing the point.
