Where to find the username change option

MovieStarPlanet lets you change your username through your account settings, but the exact path depends on whether you play on the website or the mobile app. On the website, log in, click your profile icon in the top right corner, and select "Settings." On the mobile app (iOS or Android), tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), then "Settings," then "Account." Look for an option labeled "Change Username" or "Edit Username" — the exact wording varies slightly between the web and app versions.

Before you start, know that MovieStarPlanet usually allows one free username change. If you have already changed your username once, you may need to spend in-game currency (StarCoins) to change it again. The cost varies, so check the settings page to see the current price before you proceed.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your username through Settings on either the website or mobile app, but the menu path is slightly different for each.
  • Your first username change is usually free, but subsequent changes require spending StarCoins.
  • Choose a username that follows MovieStarPlanet's rules: no personal information, no offensive language, and no impersonation of other players.
  • Your new username takes effect when ready, but other players may still see your old name in their friends lists for a few hours.

What username rules MovieStarPlanet enforces

MovieStarPlanet has content rules for usernames. You cannot use your real name, real phone number, email address, or any personal information that could identify you outside the game. You also cannot use usernames that are offensive, contain hate speech, or impersonate another player or celebrity. The game's moderation team reviews new usernames and may reject yours if it breaks these rules — if that happens, you will be asked to choose a different one.

Usernames are case-insensitive, meaning MovieStarPlanet treats "StarPlayer" and "starplayer" as the same name. You cannot reserve a username by changing to it and then changing away; once you pick a new username, your old one becomes available for other players to use after a short delay.

Steps to change your username on the website

Log into MovieStarPlanet on your web browser. In the top right corner, click your profile picture or avatar icon. A dropdown menu will appear — select "Settings" from this menu. On the Settings page, look for the "Account" or "Profile" tab. Click "Change Username" or "Edit Username." Type your new username into the text field. Review it carefully for spelling and make sure it follows the game's rules. Click "Confirm" or "Save" to submit your change.

If this is your first username change, it should process when ready. If you have already changed your username before, you will see the StarCoin cost displayed before you confirm. You must have enough StarCoins in your account to complete the change. Once you confirm, your new username is active right away, though it may take a few hours for the change to show up in other players' friends lists.

Steps to change your username on the mobile app

Open the MovieStarPlanet app on your phone or tablet and log in. Tap the menu icon — three horizontal lines, usually in the top left or bottom right corner depending on your device. Scroll down and tap "Settings." Look for "Account" or "Profile Settings" and tap it. Find the option for "Change Username" or "Edit Username" and tap it. Type your new username into the field that appears. Double-check your spelling and make sure it does not break any of the game's content rules.

Tap "Confirm," "Save," or "explore" to submit your change. If you have already used your free username change, the app will show you the StarCoin cost before you confirm. Make sure you have enough StarCoins. After you confirm, your new username is active when ready in your profile, though other players may see your old name in their friends lists for a few hours while the change syncs across the game's servers.

What happens if your username change is rejected

If MovieStarPlanet's moderation system rejects your new username, you will receive a message explaining why. Common reasons include usernames that contain personal information, offensive language, or attempts to impersonate another player. You will be sent back to the username change screen and asked to pick a different name. You do not lose your free username change or any StarCoins if the first attempt is rejected — you can try again when ready with a new username.

If you are unsure whether a username will be accepted, avoid using real names, numbers that look like phone numbers or addresses, and any words you have seen flagged as inappropriate in the game's chat filter. Keep your username straightforward and focused on your character or gaming style instead.

Recovering or reverting your username

MovieStarPlanet does not have an automatic "undo" button for username changes. Once you confirm a new username, your old one is released and can be claimed by another player. If you want to go back to your old username, you would need to change your username again — which costs StarCoins if you have already used your free change. There is no way to reserve or lock your old username.

If you changed your username by mistake and want to change back when ready, do it right away before another player claims your old name. After that, your only option is to change to a different username and hope your old one is still available later, though there is no may provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username more than once?

Yes. Your first username change is free. After that, each change costs StarCoins. The exact cost is shown in your Settings before you confirm, and it may vary based on how recently you last changed your username.

Will my friends still see me after I change my username?

Yes, you will stay on their friends list. Your old username may appear in their list for a few hours while the change syncs, but it will update to your new username. They do not need to re-add you.

What if someone else takes my old username?

Once you change your username, your old one becomes available when ready. If another player claims it before you change back, you cannot get it back. There is no way to reserve or hold a username.

Can I use special characters or spaces in my username?

MovieStarPlanet typically only allows letters, numbers, and underscores in usernames. Spaces and special characters like hyphens, periods, or symbols are usually not permitted. The text field will show you what characters are accepted as you type.

How long does it take for my new username to show up everywhere?

Your new username is active in your profile when ready after you confirm the change. It may take a few hours to update in other players' friends lists, chat history, and leaderboards as the change spreads across the game's servers.
