Don't think it's worth anything. Not sure what the hype was back then. All you need is 2 recall runes and you can the same thing from almost all T2A entrances.
A similar result can be achieved by the average player, but this is far from the same thing. This is especially handy for a group of PK's since there's not housing or bank access for reds in T2A. With a rune library for T2A hot spots, a group could effectively canvass all of the major T2A hunting grounds in record time with almost zero interruption. I suppose you could argue that even then, there are ways PK's can achieve similar results.
It's also a safe macro spot.
The way I see it, the draw with this is essentially similar to the draw with rare housing. The <now gone> Wind garden house, for example, really offers nothing different than any house I could go place with minimal spawn, except maybe the privacy factor, but owning it would be a source of pride for many players. That's the same with this. This is the only private access point to both lands (also this HAS the privacy factor). Owning a "rare" has always been sought after in UO. Owning something that is one of a kind is the top of that tier.
