Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ So I know how to change my username in my King games. My question is, if I change my username in my games (not this forum) will that corrupt my games and require me to uninstall and reinstall all my games again? Because that’s what happened when I recently changed my password in one game. Doing so corrupted all the other games and I had to do an uninstall/reinstall for each one, causing me to lose all my boosters 🙁 I would like to avoid this happening again. Can I change my in-game username safely?

    Hi @Bookster are you referring to your log in name (email address) for the game? I'm not sure and you have me stumped! Your best bet would be to complete a form and ask Player Support. All management is now gone until Monday. You will get a bot email. Please respond to it and then you should get someone to help you. Just be a bit patient because we are now in the weekend. I am also going to tag a couple of my fellow Superstars to see if maybe they have the answer for you, @PummyRaj @Chicken_Slayer

    Not sure how much use it is but when I changed it over on king.com mine was ok. But it's best to log out first with the old name and log in with the new.

    Thanks @Elsa and @Chicken_Slayer for your replies. Yes, I was referring to my login name in all the games. I had something different and I wanted to change it. I decided to take a leap and go ahead and try changing it without contacting Support. I can (thankfully) say I didn’t corrupt my games. Phew! 😅

    Thanks again for your replies 😊

    I am very happy that it worked out fir you. Always hold off uninstalling any of your games on a mobile because you will always lose them since they are only saved on your device. Do it only as a last resort.

    Hello @Bookster 🤗 Congratulations once again for winning the Bubble Witch Valentines Day contest!

    Except for Losing Progress, and missing rewards, also for missing purchased items, do not contact the Customer Support, as it will only takes a long process and time consuming.

    This Community would be the best place to get quick help for such small issues and questions. And our @Elsa and @Chicken_Slayer were there at right time today to guide you 😍


    Keep enjoying your games and have a wonderful weekend ahead 🌺 🌺

    @Elsa I did have to uninstall all my King games on my phone several weeks ago but I didn’t lose any progress in them when I reinstalled them. All that happened was that I lost some boosters. The games were still saved to my King account with all of them at the same levels. 🙂

    I remember when I first started helping in the support areas the players would get sooooo angry when they uninstalled the game and lost all boosters. The CMs had to create a blog telling them that when they play the game on a mobile device all boosters are just saved to that device. They encouraged the players not to build them up because any crash in the mobile's operating system or game update could also cause the players to lose all boosters. The gold bars are saved in your account so they never disappear. And as long as the player uses either Facebook or King their progress is saved because that is saved on their servers. The players were not aware of this and they were angry!
