Honestly, I think it's impossible to recreate. Being able to use real-time voice makes a lot of group combat scenarios easy to coordinate, and those giant good vs evil battles were a real highlight of early UO to me. You'd have to coordinate with voice, or follow someone who was typing out the next target's name. Once you could hop in a group voice chat, there's someone who could say "target: Bob -- load up. 3, 2, 1, drop". The target can't heal through a coordinated scenario like this, and I think effectively killed group PvP. Of course you could do this if you were all in the same room back in the day, but that was uncommon.
