Hmm.. i just thought of a fun idea:

Invading the headquarters
The Invaders:
Objective: To invade the HQ, kill the king, and bring back his royal items
Reward: A nice load of XP or a free lvl
Story: You've decided to invade the kingdom, and either great glory awaits you, or great shame and punishment
How it works: As an invader, you must kill through mobs of units that gradually grow in power, finally reaching the king (Level 40), there will be units sprinkeled throughout with true seeing (the king will have it). When you get the king dies, get his items (undroppable), and run back to your own faction's king!

The defenders:
Objective: To stop them from killing your king!
Reward: A decent load of XP (scaled to lvl), obtained by ... (ideas devs? i don't know what's in your power)
Story: You're kingdom's being invaded! Go help them, hurry!
How it works: As a defender, if you kill someone in the 2nd area or later (not in the first area, to prevent exploits by newbs just running in and dieing), you get the xp as if he were a NPC you were fighting x20 xp (as if you just killed 20 of that NPC type, because it equals out when you figure time it took to running back and time took to kill him. No dishonor in dieing.

To prevent exploits:
Make the king's room rather large, and make it so that if you log, you come back in the start of the room, thus giving people time to get back
To further prevent it: There should be a person in a No PVP zone that defenders can go to to warp a side-zone close to the king's room, also to prevent camping, you can have no more than one of the kingly items in your inventory at a time

Also, make the items that the king drops only redeemable at a rival's faction, and make it so it makes you especially hated by your faction (so no reason to attack your own king, and if you try to steal the drop, well, now your faction hates you cuz they think you killed the king)

Ideas? Suggestions? An exploit i missed?

well, factions are designed for up to lvl 20...

planes are supposed to be 40ish, but it sounds interesting nonetheless

maybe have it as a dm run event

hmm.. well you see, the devs plan to make it up to 40 when we're outa beta (and this will take a while to produce also) so the timing should be perfect
