The PTR Patch Notes Update from a day ago raised some questions because of the vagueness on density changes for certain zones. Since the zones were not mentioned, Blizzard clarified a few minutes ago which zones in particular are getting changes and what kind of changes exactly.

Zones that are bolded received a straight-up buff to their density.
Zones that are italicized were slightly nerfed.
All other zones had monster spawns adjusted to make them feel more "clumpy."
Act I:

As in, more groups and fewer stragglers.
I did a run of Shadow Realm last night and still got over 300mil xp per hour.
