Where to find the username change option
MovieStarPlanet lets you change your username from inside your account settings, not from the login screen. Open the game or app, log in with your current username and password, then look for a settings icon — usually a gear symbol in the top corner or bottom menu of the main screen.
Once you tap settings, look for a section labeled "Account" or "Profile". The username change option sits there alongside other account details like your email address and password. The exact location varies slightly between the mobile app (iOS and Android) and the web version, but all three routes have the setting in the account area.
Key Takeaways
- You change your username through Account or Profile settings inside the game, not on the login page.
- MovieStarPlanet usually allows one free username change, then charges in-game currency for additional changes.
- Your new username takes effect when ready, but you still log in with your email address or original username until you update your login method.
- Choose a username you can live with for a while, since changing it repeatedly costs currency.
What happens when you enter a new username
When you type in your new username and confirm the change, MovieStarPlanet checks whether that name is already taken. If it is, the system rejects it and asks you to try another one. If it is available, the change goes through when ready — you will see your new username on your profile and in the game world right away.
Your login credentials do not change automatically. You can still log in using your email address or your original username for several days while the system updates. After that, use your new username to log in. If you forget which one you changed it to, check your profile page or contact MovieStarPlanet support through the in-game help menu.
The cost of changing your username more than once
MovieStarPlanet typically allows one free username change per account. If you want to change it again, you will need to spend StarCoins — the in-game currency you earn by playing or purchase with real money. The cost varies, but expect it to be in the range of 500 to 2,000 StarCoins depending on your account level and the current game pricing.
Before you change your username, think about whether you will want to change it again soon. If you are not sure about a name, try it out for a few days first. You can always use your new username in the game and see how it feels before you commit to paying for another change later.
Restrictions on what you can name yourself
MovieStarPlanet has rules about what usernames are allowed. Your username cannot contain profanity, hateful language, or references to real people's names without permission. The system also blocks usernames that look like they are trying to impersonate staff members or other players.
Usernames must be between 3 and 20 characters long and can include letters, numbers, and underscores. Spaces are not allowed. If you try to use a name that breaks these rules, the game will reject it and tell you why. If you are unsure whether a name is allowed, try it — the system will let you know before you spend currency on the change.
If your username change does not go through
The most common reason a username change fails is that the name you chose is already taken. Try a different variation — add a number at the end, use an underscore, or pick a different name altogether. The system will tell you when ready if the name is unavailable.
If the change button is greyed out or not responding, try closing the game completely and opening it again. Sometimes a temporary glitch prevents the button from working. If it still does not work after you restart, check whether you have enough StarCoins if you are attempting a second or later change. You cannot change your username without the required currency.
Changing your username on different devices
If you play MovieStarPlanet on both mobile and web, your account is the same across both. When you change your username on one device, it changes everywhere. You do not need to make the change twice or worry about your username being different on your phone versus your computer.
Log in on whichever device you prefer, go to account settings, and make the change. Within a few minutes, that new username will appear when you log in on any other device. Your progress, StarCoins, and all your game items stay the same — only the username updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my username back to what it was before?
Not automatically. Once you change your username, the old one becomes available for someone else to use. If you want to go back to an old username, you would need to change to it again and pay the StarCoin cost, assuming no one else has claimed it in the meantime.
What if someone else is using a username I want?
You cannot force another player to change their username. If the name is taken, choose a different one. You can try adding numbers, underscores, or slight variations to get close to the name you want.
Do I need to tell my friends my new username?
If your friends search for you by username in the game, yes — they will need to know your new name to find you. However, if you are already friends in the game, you will still appear on their friends list under your new username, so they can message you without searching.
Will changing my username affect my game progress or items?
No. Your level, StarCoins, clothing, furniture, and all other progress stay exactly the same. Only the name displayed on your profile and in the game world changes.
