As discussed in the episode, these are not sanctioned by NCSoft and are against the terms of use, so they are definitely “use at your own risk”. They could get your account suspended or banned from the game.

One note from last episode: We mention that the Winter event is ending on January 6 (today!) and that they will likely close it out during Monday morning’s maintenance. Well a couple days ago Lighthouse posted on the forums that they will end it TONIGHT! So, you have a few less hours to spend those candy canes.
