My girlfriend does it like routine every night and she always seems to be too busy doing them and never says anything to me when we talk online.

Ahh right, assumed you talking about a different type of roleplay ;)
Well I guess the escapism bit is still true, but it could just be a bit of a habit, I bet she dosent know shes even doing it half the time!
If its a problem, make a joke of it to her or tell her you like her better when shes being herself.

 I play role play games. I met my husband through and MMORPG actually. There was a big society(clan) meet up in London and we met each other person to person the first time like that but the first time we ever talked was through the game.
Honestly it like :):):) says. Its a form of escapism. Its a way to unwind at the end of the day. There are people you meet on them who you do make personal friendly bonds an you wjust play because its fun to hang out with your friends while you go hunting or what not.
It is addictive and if it is bothering you you will need to talk to her about it, but understand it is a hobby and just like any hobby it can consume you. You just have total concentration on a quest or whatever.

Its an escape, a chance to be someone else. Maybe your girlfriend feels more confident when she is in role play, as lots of other people do.
If this isnt causing any problem to your relationship, then theres nothing to worry about.

 Roleplay? Hmm possibly need a bit more info here. Is it a game like Habbo or Runescape? Or is it pretending to be movie charecters like Harry Potter and stuff?
Pesonaly I have never done that, cant see the attraction when you can be yourself. But if its what floats her boat then why not? Maybe she finds it fun.
Although becoming obsessed with a game is ot good as you may begin to rely on it and it takes over what is real and whats not. Is she happy being herself?
If you want her to spend more time with you, talk to her about it. Go out more with her. Prove your way better than cyberspace ;)
Good luck xx
