Players who joined the official mo.co Discord server before March 17, 2025 at 6:25 PM were able to claim the exclusive Bean Outfit, and the players who missed out despite playing in the Closed Beta were upset. Supercell has stood its ground that the Outfit will stay exclusive and not be available again in the future. Check out the full announcement below:
Hey, everyone! 👋
Last Friday, we announced the distribution of an exclusive Bean Knight Outfit for our Discord members who joined before the announcement date - 17/03/2025 18:25 UTC. I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're distributing it this way.
- Why only Discord?
- Why before the announcement date?
- Why not to everyone who's been playing since the launch?
Before diving into those questions, it's important to give some historical context. Especially for those who are newer to the community. So… where does this Bean even come from?
BEANS: A Brief History
Many moons ago (during beta), a few of our Discord members had fun joking around with the idea of being banned. In response, our Discord admins created an alternative to !!ban: the !!bean command. Players would be fake-banned by using !!bean, and just like that, an early version of the Bean meme was born.
It wasn't much later that we revealed the "bean mob": a small, bean-y worm monster that was never meant to be released in-game, but instantly became a meme and a fan favorite among our beta community.
To this day, the Bean remains maybe our most beloved monster. You can even interact with it using the !!hunt command. Try it out!
In 2024, we held a community skin contest. Guess who won? That's right: the Bean Knight, designed by the Bean Knight channel.
From that point on, the Bean Knight outfit was saved exclusively to our beta community - the ones who accompanied us through the early stages of development, who helped shape what mo.co is today with their passion, excitement, and above all, their thoughtful feedback.
So, to answer a few of your concerns:
- The Bean Knight is not an OG player reward. For that, we have the "OG Crew" title available in the shop.
- The Bean Knight is a thank-you gift to our beta Discord members who supported us throughout the years. It's a loyalty thing and we're keeping our word.
- Will the Bean Knight be available in the future for all players? No, this is exclusive to our Discord beta members.
- Why for those who joined before the announcement? We had to draw the line somewhere, so we went with the ones who joined organically and not through the announcement. This helps ensure that all intended members get the outfit.
For everyone, you'll have the chance to get cool free stuff in the future! We're already cooking up a special event for April, so stay tuned.
Much love,
Joao
