I don't remember any discussion of metaserver before. And dynamically
adding every game in it wouldn't very useful, since in crossfire players
want keep their characters (compare to MUDs instead of XPilot).

The main reason for success with XPilot comes client/server -model 
(suprise :). The first versions of xpilot worked same way than current 
crossfire  (i.e using X). [Hmm, if I don't remember wrong, Frank has been 
mentioned somewhere in XPilot credits also]
