How do i collect Planets??

[tanukaki]

Hi everyone
I am new at tracmania 2 and i would like to open a server, but i need 10,000 Planets!!
When i race online do i get planets and how do i get them ?
Also if i get 100 LP does this change my planet score??
In solo mode i beat the official time of a player but then i checked my planets but the are still at the same amount of planets
Can someone explain to me clearly how do i gain Planets
Thanx

You earn 100 planets for 1000 LP earn, 20 planets per day of connection, you can sell skins, maps, mods on your manialink, win planets on server or manialink, earn medals on solo game in official mode...

You don't need planets to open a server. Only ranked servers i.e. 60k and up, you need planets for.
