MovieStarPlanet lets you change your username once every 30 days

You can change your MovieStarPlanet username through your account settings, but the game limits you to one change per 30 days. If you have not changed your username before, you get one free change. After that, each change costs StarCoins — the in-game currency you earn by playing or buy with real money. The exact cost varies by region, but typically runs between 200 and 500 StarCoins.

The process takes just a few minutes and works the same way whether you play on the website, mobile app, or desktop version. You do not need to contact MovieStarPlanet support unless something goes wrong during the change.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your username once every 30 days through your account settings, with the first change free and later changes costing StarCoins.
  • Your new username must be between 3 and 16 characters, contain only letters and numbers, and cannot already be taken by another player.
  • The change takes effect when ready, but you cannot reverse it — you have to wait 30 days and pay again to change it back.
  • If your change fails, check that the username is not already in use and that you have enough StarCoins if it is not your first change.

Steps to change your username

Log into your MovieStarPlanet account and click the settings icon — usually a gear symbol in the top corner of the screen. Select "Account Settings" or "Profile Settings" depending on which version you are using. Look for an option labeled "Change Username" or "Edit Username."

Type your new username into the text field. The game will tell you when ready if the name is already taken or breaks the rules. Once you see a green checkmark or confirmation message, click the button to confirm the change. If this is your first change, it will go through without charging you. If you have changed your username before, you will see the StarCoin cost before you confirm — make sure you have enough in your account before proceeding.

Rules for your new username

MovieStarPlanet enforces specific rules about what usernames are allowed. Your new name must be between 3 and 16 characters long and can only contain letters (A–Z, a–z) and numbers (0–9). Spaces, underscores, hyphens, and special characters are not permitted.

The game also blocks usernames that are already in use, contain offensive language, or look like attempts to impersonate staff members or famous players. If your chosen name is rejected, try a different combination. You can test as many names as you want before you confirm — testing does not cost anything or use up your 30-day window.

What happens after you change your username

Your new username appears on your profile and in the game world when ready. Other players will see your new name in chat, on your profile page, and in game rooms. Your old username becomes available for another player to claim after a short delay.

Changing your username does not affect your level, StarCoins, diamonds, clothes, or any other progress in the game. Your friends list stays the same, though your friends will see your new name the next time they log in. You keep access to all the same rooms, competitions, and features you had before.

The 30-day waiting period and cost

Once you change your username, you cannot change it again for 30 days. This timer starts the moment your change goes through, not when you click the button. If you try to change your username before 30 days have passed, the game will show you a countdown telling you how long you have to wait.

After the 30 days are up, you can change your username again — but it will cost StarCoins unless you have never changed it before. The cost is the same each time and does not increase based on how many times you have changed your name. If you run out of StarCoins, you can earn more by playing games, completing tasks, or buying them with real money through the in-game shop.

Troubleshooting a failed username change

If your username change does not go through, the most common reason is that the name is already taken. Try a different combination and check again — the game will confirm whether it is available before you pay. Another reason is that you do not have enough StarCoins if this is not your first change. Check your StarCoin balance in the shop or your account settings before you try again.

If the change still fails and you have a valid name and enough StarCoins, try logging out and back in, or closing and reopening the app. If the problem continues, you may need to contact MovieStarPlanet support through the in-game help menu. They can investigate whether there is a technical issue with your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username back to what it was before?

You can change your username to anything you want, including your old name, but you have to wait 30 days and pay StarCoins to do it. The old name becomes available for other players after you change it, so someone else might claim it in the meantime. If that happens, you cannot use it again unless that player changes their name.

What if someone else took my old username?

Once you change your username, your old name enters a pool that other players can claim. If someone else takes it before you want it back, you cannot force them to give it up. You would have to choose a different name or wait for them to change their username and hope no one else claims it in the meantime.

Do I lose my friends when I change my username?

No, your friends list stays exactly the same. Your friends will see your new username the next time they log in, but the friendship itself does not break. You do not have to re-add them or send new friend requests.

Can I change my username more than once every 30 days?

No, the game enforces a strict 30-day waiting period between changes. You cannot pay extra StarCoins to change it sooner. If you try to change it before 30 days have passed, the game will show you how much longer you have to wait.

What if my username contains a number or letter that looks wrong?

Once your username change goes through, you cannot undo it without waiting 30 days and paying again. Double-check your spelling before you confirm. If you made a typo, you will have to wait the full 30 days, then pay StarCoins to change it to the correct version.
