First, thanks a bunch for the reply.
I followed the Complete Windows-based Server Setup Guide (Windows 7+) line for line, as far as I know of.
So I guess the LOAD_BOTS.SQL and the MERCS.SQL came from:
c:\EQ\Source\utils\sql\svn
In the guide there's a line that reads "(OPTIONAL) If you plan on using mercenaries, follow this seperate guide located here."

Again, I pretty much went step by step. I am lost when it comes to databases and SQL, but I'm pretty good at following instructions =)
As a whole, the server is running really well. In fact, me and the wife have been having a blast playing with it/on it.
It's the "Texantonica" server if that helps.
