Cmon Maxis, sandbox mode is half way there, I realize load/save could break the integrity of leaderboards and stuff so do the same thing, give us a load/save that applies the same way as sandbox mode.
Of course then it'd just be a small step to complete offline mode.

As far as I understand it, this is not entirely the case. Your city will continue when you are gone. You will continue to have income and your city's interactions with other cities will continue but as I understand it, this is not at a normal rate. Your income will be much slower as will resource loss.
That said, Maxis has said they are still tuning this, so we will have to wait and see what it is like on release.
