Hi,
Does anyone know if there are any restrictions that prevent transferring a character from an battle.net account to a new non-linked account?

Q u o t e:

So I'd be able to do this?
Battle.Net Account 1 = My Active Account + Unactive ACcount
Battle.Net Account 2 = Trial Account (that I would upgrade to WotLK)

Am I able to transfer characters from my active account to new account that is merged with Battle.Net Account 2?

Because it seems like

won't let me.

You are able to move World of Warcraft characters between different Battle.net accounts as long as they are in your name. The link to the Restrictions information does make note that you will have to wait 30 days before being able to move between different Battle.net accounts though:

Q u o t e:
30 Day Restriction on Transfers Between Battle.net Accounts

An additional temporary restriction becomes effective immediately upon a World of Warcraft account merge. For 30 days, the account can only transfer characters to other accounts within the same Battle.net account – it cannot transfer characters off of the Battle.net account. Thus, in this example:

• World of Warcraft Account A and World of Warcraft Account B have both been merged with Battle.net Account 1 for less than 30 days

• World of Warcraft Account C has been merged with Battle.net Account 2 for more than 30 days

• World of Warcraft Account D is not merged into a Battle.net account

• World of Warcraft Account A can transfer to World of Warcraft Account B since they share the same Battle.net account.

• Account A cannot transfer to Account C, since Account C is part of a different Battle.net account and it has been less than 30 days since Account A was merged.

• However, Account C can transfer to Account A since the 30 day restriction applies to transfers from Account A, not to Account A.

• After 30 days, the restriction is lifted and Account A can transfer to or from Account C.

• Finally, Account D cannot participate in any transfers with the other three accounts, since it is not merged. It can only transfer to or from other non-merged World of Warcraft accounts.
