Summerville is a city within the world of Blizzard started, and mainly constructed by graystripe meant to recreate the past. Construction of VP-Summerville started in April of 2014, and properly established as a city in early 2015. Originally, it was founded as a tiny tourist building/roleplay community in AWTeen back in early 2010. Pre-war Summerville had created a small community of its citizens being able to build, and role play freely as they pleased. Summerville in late 2011 became known for it's weeks-long defense against vandalism attacks from the Icemen and ultimately contributed towards an end to of years of hacking and vandalism within the AW community. It eventually relocated over to Virtual Paradise nevertheless, as the fear of future griefing efforts never really died out until much later. The VP version of Summerville is themed vastly different from it's more famous counterpart, but otherwise retaining most of it's original culture and community.
Summerville itself is regarded as an independent city with no ties to any established nation in the world as of 2016.

Mass Renovation Project
As of July 1st of 2016, Summerville is undergoing a massive renovation project,
The 'old city'
While an embarrassment due to its low quality of build, the old city is however closely layed out to the original Summerville, retaining some original build quality and original builds like the location of the GZ, the presence and style of the wall behind the GZ, a (former) river north of the GZ, and the several houses lined up to the right of the GZ were all in pre-war Summerville one way or another.
While almost all the buildings have been emptied and the old city being marked for complete demolition, it can still be visited publicly at !j Summerville (1029X -17351Z)
Mass Renovation Project Plans and Projected Goals
The basic outline of the renovation project is meant to scrap, and reuse elements and builds of the old city, and rebuild it to reflect a higher standard of quality and build.
The projects main goal is to expand Summerville even greater then its original counterpart in AWTeen in 2010 - 2011. The original plans in AWTeen for Summerville was to make a extensively sized city that would not only offer the public building among the community, but to also look like, and feel like a functioning city, rather then a small town with few buildings.
A new standard of building quality is also another major goal of the project. The original building quality of Summerville in general in 2010 wasn't really the best, and it defiantly could of been improved at the time. The project is meant to take the quality above and beyond what Summerville ever had before. An example of what kind of quality will be present can been seen within the current City Hall.
Another goal of the project is to bring back some builds original to Pre-war Summerville found in 2010 - 2011. It will not only bring back these old builds, but also expand and improve apoun them. Such examples have not yet been started at the time of writing, but future building will introduce the new concept.
