Fortnite delays account merging feature to early 2019

Originally, Fortnite was intended to have a new account merging feature go live this month. With November just about over, players might be curious as to why we haven’t seen it yet. Epic Games provided an update on its website today.
Because of “ongoing technical concerns,” the functionality has been delayed. Epic now intends to have it ready sometime in early 2019.
The developer said:
Due to some ongoing technical concerns, we will be delaying the Account Merge feature until early next year. We want to make sure that this process is thoroughly tested and working properly before releasing it to those of you currently looking to transfer purchases from other accounts to your primary account. We’ll be sure to update you as we get closer to the release of the feature, which will include a web page on launch to help guide you through the flow!
Thank you for all of your patience while we continue to work on completing this tool.
When account merging is live, players will be able to “combine multiple console-linked accounts to transfer Battle Royale cosmetic item purchases, lifetime wins, V-Bucks, and Save the World campaign access.”
