According to blizzard entertainment in the published patch description, they are introducing Terror Zones to D2R in order to make it easier for more people to reach the maximum, level 99. In The Horror Zones, which appear randomly in selected areas in each act, players will receive additional experience points for defeating the monsters lurking there, which will be slightly stronger than the player's character.
