Is he avoiding me, or am I over-reacting to the whole thing?

I'm a bit confused. Two weeks ago, my boyfriend stopped being all cuddly towards me. Like.. he would constantly talk to me and me really sweet, but he stopped two weeks ago, almost cold turkey. I mean, we'd still talk about other stuff, ranging from school to sex to anything really, but the romance factor almost disappeared. Then, two days ago, the new Wow expansion came out, which has kept him pretty busy, leaving little time to talk to him. But yesterday, I messaged him over skype, saying I was feeling bad (I was gonna ask him about the sudden stop in affection). Normally, even when he was in the middle of a raid or a quest beforehand, he would still pause every so often to answer me, even when I was just tittering on about nothing. But when I told him I was feeling self-conscious about something in our relationship, he never replied. When I signed off last night, I left him the message "I kinda wanted to talk to you today, I guess we can do it some other time". Then when I saw him on skype today, he signed off before I could even say hi. I know he's probably still on the computer playing Wow, but it was weird he signed off skype so suddenly. He's told me that he wants me to be able to tell him anything that's bothering me, but when I tried, he didn't reply.
