Star

Any Omgpop user can have their membership upgraded to a Star account. Star members can instantly start games that they host without having to wait for countdowns, as well as play exclusive games and beta games, earn 50% more XP per game, and get a "Star" label next to their name. Star membership also provides more options to users who host games, including the ability to block non-members/friends and those below/above a certain level from joining the match. A Star membership can be obtained in four ways: Users who buy at least 100 Omgpop Cash (10 USD) through the Cash store will receive Star membership for a limited period of time, which varies from 3 months to 1 year depending on the amount of cash purchased. A second way of obtaining Star is by recruiting 10 or more friends to Omgpop through the recruiting tool on the bottom of the site. When 10 of them reach level 10 or higher, the recruiter receives Star for life. Members can also attain permanent Star membership for free when their accounts reach level 100. Members who submit comments, suggestions, or who participate in certain contests are sometimes given free Star membership by the Omgpop crew.

In early 2010, Omgpop released a recruit feature. Recruiting friends and letting them level up will provide the recruiter with prizes. Once ten recruits reach level 10, the recruiter will get Star for life or Gold Star if they already had normal Star. Currently, the only benefit of having a Gold Star is that Gold Stars cannot get kicked out by Blue Stars or non-Stars.
