total noob
How many people know what that instance is? Have actually run it? When it was hard? When you could take 15 people? When you could take 40?
Originally UBRS was the only entrance to BWL, so you had to zone in, defeat Rend, and then you go gain access.

I'm not sure if it ever allowed 40, but it did allow 15 for a long time (when the release the dungeon set 2 quest line, it was capped at 10, WoW 1.8 I think?).

Same goes for BRD --> MC. MC (in beta I think? maaaybe wow 1.0) was part of BRD... so you'd take your 40 man crew, crush BRD, then enter MC.

Somewhere around WoW 1.0 or 1.1 or something they made MC a seperate raid entrance, then later added the "attunement" option.
UBRS was only the tentative entrance to BWL. It was never the actual entrance. When BWL was released you just did the attunement quest to use the orb. MC had a portal in BRD in the early beta, but the attunement quest was there the day the game went live.

Also _every_ instance was 40-mannable in live. I've got screenshots somewhere at home of a 40-man strath run . Back when it was common practice to drop the group before a kill so you'd get quest credit, then get invited before you got ported. When they fixed the drop-group-quest thing, there was tons of QQ on the forums because everyone thought Scholomance was IMPOSSIBLE to do as a 5-man. Heh.
