Did my ring10 on Povar in 2001. First of all, cable/DSL were already common by then, so your gripe about dialup is just wrong. People weren't disconnecting for Ringwar. Performance issues back then were more related to the graphical load from many players, not internet latency. I remember getting something like 3-5 FPS during the SK BOTB in Arena, and that was playing top-down view to minimize the amount of models on screen having to be drawn.
Ring War isn't done much differently on p99 than it was on Live. Instead of actively kiting high priests, they were just fought and killed in camp but separate enough to not heal others. And instead of actively running to each new wave spawn, fighting just occurred out front along the river.
