Actually, it’s in UBRS in the hallway after Rend and before the Beast. Take a left instead of going down to the Ogres+Dragons.
Physically, it’s in UBRS, just like MC is in BRD. But I’m pretty sure that since BWL launched you could always use the orb, just like the quest NPC for MC.
Pretty sure you originally had to jump through the window before they added the option to Lothos. It was fun when the instance failed to load and Femtaur didn’t fit through.
I’m pretty sure they realized after the initial MC fiasco that having raid portals inside the dungeon is a terrible idea which is why BWL and Naxx were changed to ports rather than being in UBRS/Strat.
its only great for item drops
You would run 10 at a time, once they got into bwl the next 10 can enter
Same thing we did for mc for non atunement people.

BWL’s entrance is inside UBRS; you passed it on the way to General Drakkisath. Once you completed the attunement quest, then you could use the orb to teleport directly into Blackwing Lair…after the orb and that quest were added to the game. Prior to that, people would crowd through UBRS in 40-player groups and head in through the instance if they wanted to raid BWL.
Sounds like a good way to gear the mt and main heals before running it normal.
ok that’s right, been so long all I remembered was the orb…good times 
Orb port was added with BWL. Nobody went through UBRS with 40 people to raid BWL.
I wonder if people actually went into BRD to MC before they discovered the window. Or was there a quest that hinted it? By the time I was doing MC, it was common knowledge to jump through the window.
You HAD to run through BRD right up until Dire Maul was released (along with the overhaul of the max level dungeons)
edit: engrish am hard
Wait, so the for classic before DM release, we have to run through BRD as well then? This will be interesting cuz it’ll be even more old school than my original vanilla experience!
When you could 10/15 man Scholo/Strath,BRD,UBRS, they were a lot more difficult as well, they nerfed them at the same time when they capped them at 5.
God I hope not
They nerfed them when they capped them at 10/15 as well

lol, sounds like warlocks may be in higher demand 
Its going to be how it was in 1.12.
This is a public service announcement:
As of 1.12, LBRS is a five-player dungeon. UBRS is a ten-player raid.
UBRS was nerfed into a dungeon in Cataclysm.
If you’re going to LBRS and want to do the quests there, bring five people. If you’re going to UBRS, bring ten. Or you’ll get slaughtered.
have have played since the 04 launch and its news to me as well.i bet you cant do 10 in retail at 60.
ps wow head has a virus it makes my antivirus go off.

Gonna make a correction here just so someone doesn’t get the wrong idea with what you posted about entering dungeons at level 9. Dungeons have minimum level caps to enter. 10 is the lowest, but they scale up as the difficulty does. Here is a reference if anyone is interested:
