Where to find the username change option

MovieStarPlanet lets you change your username through your account settings, not through gameplay or the main menu. The exact location depends on whether you are playing on a computer or a mobile device, but both routes take you to the same settings page.

On a computer, log in to your MovieStarPlanet account, then look for a gear icon or "Settings" link — usually in the top right corner of the screen or in a menu that drops down from your profile picture. On a mobile device (iPhone or Android), tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and scroll down until you see "Settings" or "Account Settings".

Once you are in Settings, look for a section labeled "Account" or "Profile". The username change option sits there, separate from password or email changes. If you cannot find it when ready, scroll down — MovieStarPlanet sometimes groups account options across multiple screens.

Key Takeaways

  • Username changes are found in Settings under Account or Profile, accessible from the gear icon or menu on your screen.
  • MovieStarPlanet usually allows one username change per account, though the exact policy can vary by region.
  • Your new username must follow the game's content rules — no offensive language, no impersonation, no excessive numbers or symbols.
  • The change takes effect when ready after you confirm it, and your old username becomes available for other players to use.
  • If you cannot find the Settings option, check whether your account is a child account, which may have restricted permissions.

What happens when you submit a new username

When you enter a new username and confirm the change, MovieStarPlanet checks it against their content filter. This usually takes a few seconds. If the name contains words the game flags as inappropriate, numbers that look like they are hiding offensive language, or symbols that break the username format, the system will reject it and ask you to try again.

If your new username is accepted, the change happens right away. Your profile, your player card, and your name in other players' friend lists all update when ready. The old username is released back into the pool and can be claimed by another player after a short delay.

Rules for your new username

MovieStarPlanet enforces the same content rules for usernames as it does for chat and gameplay. Your username cannot contain profanity, slurs, or hateful language in any language. It cannot impersonate a real celebrity, a staff member, or another player. It cannot be designed to look like a username that was already banned.

The game also limits how many numbers, underscores, and special characters you can use. A username like "player_123_456_789" will likely be rejected because it has too many numbers and underscores. Stick to letters, numbers, and one or two underscores or hyphens, and keep the total length between 3 and 20 characters.

If you submit a username that breaks these rules, you will see an error message telling you why it was rejected. The message is usually specific enough to guide you toward a name that will work — for example, "Username contains invalid characters" or "Username is too long".

How many times you can change your username

MovieStarPlanet typically allows one free username change per account. After you use that change, you may be able to change your username again, but the game may require you to wait a certain number of days or pay a small amount of in-game currency.

The exact policy varies depending on your region and whether your account is a child account with parental controls. Some regions allow unlimited changes after a waiting period; others cap the number of changes per year. Check your Settings page or the MovieStarPlanet support site for your specific region to confirm the current policy.

Troubleshooting: username change is not working

If you click the change button and nothing happens, first check that you are logged into the correct account. MovieStarPlanet sometimes logs you out without warning, especially if you have been inactive for a while. Log out completely, then log back in and try again.

If the Settings page does not show a username change option at all, your account may be a child account with parental restrictions. Child accounts on MovieStarPlanet have limited permissions, and username changes may be locked. Ask the parent or guardian who set up the account to change the username, or ask them to adjust the account permissions in the parental control panel.

If you see an error message that does not make sense, or if the page freezes when you try to change your username, try clearing your browser cache (on computer) or closing and reopening the app (on mobile). Cached data sometimes interferes with account settings. After you clear the cache or restart the app, log back in and try the change again.

What to do if your username was rejected

When MovieStarPlanet rejects a username, the error message usually tells you which rule it broke. If it says "Username contains invalid characters", remove numbers, underscores, hyphens, or special symbols. If it says "Username is too long", cut it down to 20 characters or fewer. If it says "Username unavailable", that name is either already taken or was recently used and is still on a cooldown.

If the rejection message is vague or you are not sure what to change, try a simpler username with only letters and one or two numbers. For example, instead of "xXPlayer_123_ProXx", try "PlayerPro123". Once you understand what the system rejected, you can experiment with variations that follow the rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username back to my old one?

Not when ready. After you change your username, the old one enters a cooldown period before it becomes available again. This usually lasts a few days to a week. Once the cooldown ends, you can claim it again if no one else has taken it. If someone else claimed it first, you cannot get it back.

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

Yes. Your friends list does not change, and they will see your new username on their friends list and in the game world. You will still be able to chat with them and play together. The only thing that changes is the name displayed next to your profile and character.

What if I see a username I want but it says it is unavailable?

That username is either already claimed by another player or is on cooldown from a recent change. You cannot force it to become available. Wait a few days and check again, or choose a different username. If you really want that specific name, you may need to wait weeks or months for the other player to abandon their account.

Does changing my username affect my level or my items?

No. Your level, coins, diamonds, clothing, furniture, and all other progress stay exactly the same. Only the name displayed on your profile and in the game world changes. Everything else tied to your account remains untouched.

Can I change my username on mobile but keep it on computer?

No. MovieStarPlanet is the same account across all devices. When you change your username, it changes everywhere — mobile, computer, tablet, and any other device you use to play. There is no way to have different usernames on different devices.
