About EU AoC and Rogue-Tank

I have some questions about it. First of all, are they interchangeable? I mean, if I get a preorder here, will I be able to play on the EU servers? I guess not, but may aswell ask just in case.
If I cannot, then thing is, I want to play this game. But the EU company has quite a reputation about P2C and P2W features (I did read about both, but only found P2C). What I want to know is, if you're SO SURE there's not going to be any kind of P2W or P2C in the game, can I be sure there won't be any of that on the EU side of AoC by My.games? I really want to know that, irst and foremost because if I have to play on NA servers just to avoid P2W and P2C I will. That I know.
I would like to ask about content release dates. Will NA and EU be on par with each other? Will EU be behind in content like some other games have been doing?
And by the way, it's been a week and I cannot preorder on the My.games AoC website. I doubt this even goes here, but just a FYI.
Aside from that, there's a thing that made me fall in love with the class system, and it's quite a silly thing, but I wanted to know a little more about how can I expect classes to work. I heard the Fighter-Mage Charge-teleport explanation like 3 times, in 2 different interviews, but my question is a little more specific. Rogue tank.
I mean, according to the class chart, it is possible. Even more, it can be done with 2 different classes: Shadowguardian and Nightshield; or as I understand it: Rogue skills with Tank augmentations, and Tank skills with Rogue augmentations. I may be wrong here, but that's not exactly the point.
My point is, what can I expect from Shadowguardian for example? Backstabs that generate aggro? I know backstabs are ingame since you referred to them as an example a couple times, but I cannot figure out what to expect from a class like that. And my main problem is that is the one I struggled to find since 2009 when I first saw that as a concept and just fell in love with it, even when I knew in that game it wasn't a viable option, I made it so at all costs.

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
He's seen the issues they have in other games (or that players percieve they have, I'm not sure), and so he made sure that those same issues could not happen.
Do you happen to have the source of that? Would be a huge relief to read/listen if you do
Lazy Peon made a video about it.
Here you go.

But time will show if these are just words or real thing.
