Being the worst and being incompetent do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Just because everything out there is worse crap does not mean your crap isn’t crap.

This demonstrates that the communication issues are not EQ2 specific.
Maybe they only got a response that the server administrator was available to install patches after he got home from his real job.

Will this update effect when logging in? I keep getting invalid password? Should I be concerned?

May not be anything to do with PSS1 – Everquest is affected and EQ was not supposed to be part of the deal – I think.
