Ashran is a forced PvP zone, and though you aren't auto-flagged in the "cities" themselves, you will be if you step out of them onto Ashran itself, regardless of server type. The "Don't flag me ever" toggle is in, but they haven't stated whether or not Ashran's nature will override it.

Video of Ashran, with the Horde capital at 1:07 and the Alliance capital shortly after. Yes, the shanty towns are it.

Tweet from a third party with the video in which they state what the capitals will be, just for the sake of being thorough:

Holinka also tweeted that this is full of "Out of date information," but refused to elaborate.

@JesseGarrett8 No doubt, we did. Just like every BlizzCon where we talk about early design, things change during development.

Also: LOTS of misinformation and misunderstandings floating around re: faction capitals. I'm working on getting details out ASAP.
